Programs We Fund

The Friends of the Blackstone Public Library proudly fund programs and services that are not covered by the library’s budget. Our efforts are made possible through fundraising and the generosity of our community, ensuring that the library remains a vibrant hub of learning, creativity, and connection for all ages.

Below are just a few of the wonderful programs we support.

Children's Programs

We love making learning exciting for kids! Programs like the Egg-to-Chicken experience, live animal encounters, and visits from beloved characters like the Snow Queen create magical and educational moments for young library patrons.

Young Adult Programs

Teens and young adults can also enjoy exciting programs with the support of the Friends of the Blackstone Library. We help fund prizes and supplies for the Young Adult Summer Reading Program, provide refreshments for events, and support fun activities during Halloween! Our contributions ensure engaging, creative, and social opportunities for the library’s young patrons. 🎃📚🎉

Adult Programs

From supplying supplies and prizes for the summer reading program to paint nights and chocolate parties we help fund engaging activities that bring people together to encourage reading, spark creativity, and have fun.

Clubs and Groups

From book clubs to the photography club and writing groups, we support spaces where community members can share ideas, express creativity, and connect with others who share their passions.

Presentations and Talks

We help bring engaging speakers and unique presentations to the library, such as The Golden Age of Hollywood, An Introduction to Sea Glass, and Nurturing Self-Care Together. These events offer something for everyone, whether you love history, art, or personal wellness.

Museum Passes

Thanks to community support, we provide discounted or free passes to local museums and attractions, making it easier for families to explore and learn together.
