Support the Goodnow Library Foundation

Celebrating 15 Years of Supporting the Goodnow Library!

 

As our community’s needs evolve, the Foundation continues to serve an important role in supporting the Goodnow Library’s focus on education and literacy, as well as providing a gathering place where everyone is welcome.

 

The Foundation provides supplemental funding to the Library, much in the same way that Sudbury parent organizations support the schools. These funds support refurbishments, technology upgrades, director’s requests, and other needs not covered by the town—amounting to 10–20% of the Library’s non-salary budget each year, on average. 

 

In 2024, we’re focusing on funding three priority areas—and we need your help to reach our goals:

 

• Expanding the digital collection—audiobooks and eBooks—to reduce wait times for popular titles

• Adding to the Library of Things (non-traditional items to borrow for your home)

• Launching the endowment, to support the Library in perpetuity

​​

The Foundation also continues to offer community events, Book Nook book sales (two large in-person events, online, and kiosk in the Library), and the museum pass program.

 

We hope to see you soon at Goodnow, and appreciate your support of the Foundation and the Library!
