Make a Difference

Our library receives only one-third of its total budget from the towns of Becket and Washington. For the remaining two-thirds, we rely on investments/grants and fundraising. It is your contribution that will allow us to maintain our hours, friendly staff, expand our programs, and to continually build our diverse collection of books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, board games, and more. The library works hard to promote and support this community, but this next year is going to be very difficult and without your help, we may have to dramatically cut back.

It is through your generosity that we are able to keep our programs and services 100% free.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.
