Support the Goodnow Library Foundation

Celebrating 16 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 2025, we’re focusing on funding four priority areas—and we need your help to reach our goals:

 

• New furniture for the Teen area to accommodate flexible set-ups for group projects

• Funding for e-books to enable the Library to better meet the town's high demand for digital books

• The Library's participation in Sudbury for Digital Balance programming for youth and families

• Staff development programming

​​

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 popular museum pass program.

 

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