Mission Statement

A strong and vibrant public library is a world of knowledge and resources, which empowers a community to build its future. The Woburn Public Library Foundation, Inc.’s mission is to raise funds for the Library’s capital renovation and expansion and for its future needs.

History

The Woburn Public Library Foundation, Inc. was formed in 2013 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the need for public and private support to sustain and enhance the resources and services of the library. The Board of Directors of the Foundation bring a commitment to the library’s vision of being a welcoming destination and a leading provider of resources to inform, enlighten and enrich our diverse community.

In the early spring of 2013 and for several months following a number of Woburn citizens and Woburn Public Library supporters met to strategize about ways to support ongoing and future educational and cultural Library programs as well as the Library’s renovation and expansion plans.

The Foundation’s Mission statement highlights the importance of the limitless opportunities that free access to information offers for the future of our community. A strong and vibrant public library provides a world of knowledge and resources, which empowers a community to build its future.

“Together, Foundation members are working on a plan to create a development program to support the Library’s endeavors and ensure this and ensure this magnificent building is maintained to a degree befitting its stature,” said Mark Salvati, Director and President. “While there are many more steps to take, we are committed to working hard to achieve a strong, vibrant, and functional 21st Century Library able to provide programs and services to all of Woburn’s growing number of citizens.”
