The Boylston Public Library Foundation, Inc. was incorporated in March 1983 with a mission to promote the acquiring and maintaining of a current comprehensive collection; to provide programs and services for educational, recreational, survival and enrichment purposes for people of all ages, and to ensure adequate facilities and staff to satisfy the needs and interest of the citizens of Boylston.  Forms are available at the circulation desk for your donation to help us fund a new public copier, public access computer printer and computer monitor replacements.
