Invest in Stoneham’s Story

Help keep the Stoneham Public Library strong for everyone who calls this town home.

This spring, Stoneham almost lost its library.

Thanks to overwhelming community response, the library will remain open—but with deep cuts. The Friends of the Stoneham Library have already raised over $30,000 from individual donors. Now, we’re asking local businesses to help us close the gap.

Make a difference

When you give, you protect more than a building. You preserve:

✅ Free, safe spaces for kids to learn and explore
✅ Tech access, job help, and language resources
✅ Book clubs, author talks, and family story times
✅ A vital part of what makes Stoneham feel like home

Libraries build communities. Let’s build ours together.
