News from the Foundation

It's that time of year . . . annual appeal season! Your generous funding of the Cary Library Foundation's annual appeal enables the Library to provide the programs and collection materials that really make a difference to our community. Your support makes so many wonderful library programs possible, including: 1) Open Mic Poetry Night for both teens and adults on December 3; 2) 50+ Job Seekers Networking Group; and 3) Kids Cooking Green for both kids and teens. Your support also funds additions to the library's collection, including e-books, for which demand has soared and the cost is far more expensive than traditional print materials.


Could you please join us in supporting the Library's annual appeal? Donations may be made online at carylibraryfoundation.org, or by check sent to Cary Library Foundation, 1874 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA 02420. Thank you very much for your generous support and happy holidays! 

News from the Friends

Our holiday cart is in the Friends bookstore, and it’s stocked with items for your celebrations or gifts for friends and family. We’ll be putting new items out throughout the season.


Thank you so much for your ongoing support—your memberships, book donations, and purchases are big help during the construction project!
