Since 1859 the Fitchburg Public Library has been dedicated to providing materials and exceptional service to all people in their quest for information, recreation, education, and life-long learning. 

Gifts help us maintain and improve upon our services. 

• You can make an outright gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets. 
• You can designate a gift or portion of your estate to the Fitchburg Public Library. 
• You can also contact a community foundation or charitable gift fund to arrange for donations.

Gifts can be directed for a specific purpose and we are happy to honor such requests. We are always available to discuss the details of such gifts; contact the Administrative Office at 978-345-9639.

Capital Campaign

Our current needs include a capital campaign to raise funds for a building improvement and renovation project.  Gifts for this purpose should be made out to the Board of Trustees of the Fitchburg Public Library.

Friends of the Fitchburg Public Library

The Friends of the Fitchburg Public Library, Inc. is a nonprofit organization (501c-3). Gifts to the Friends are tax deductible.  Cash donations may be sent to:

Friends of the FPL
610 Main Street
Fitchburg MA  01420

Book donations of clean, used books, DVDs and CDs are accepted at the library during regular hours of operation.  Books must be clean, and in reasonably good condition.  The Friends have a used book sale at least once per year. 

Our Amazon.com Wishlist

After many years of strained budgets, the library started a wishlist of books with Amazon.com.  This is a fun and easy way to make a gift to the library.  If you ask us, we will gladly add a bookplate to your purchase commemorating your gift in memory of a loved one or to honor a special person on their birthday.

What do I do?

If you would like to buy a book for us, you can click on our amazon.com wishlist. You will see our current list, and then you can select a title you would like to purchase. You pay for it with your credit card, and Amazon.com will mail the book to us!

What if I don't like to buy online? Can I still help?

If you don't want to purchase a book over the Internet, you can call the Library at 978-345-9635 and find out the titles on our Wishlist.

We also maintain a copy of our current wishlist here on our web site.

If you'd like to buy a book and bring it to us you may also do that. Just let us know what you are going to purchase.
