Help Us Celebrate 15 Years!
The Fitchburg Public Library has been a cornerstone of our community for 15 years — and we think that deserves one heck of a party.
Join the Friends of the Fitchburg Library for Books & Brews Birthday Bash, an unforgettable after-hours celebration filled with good company, great beer, and a whole lot of community spirit. Whether you're a lifelong library lover or just looking for a fun night out for a great cause, this is the event for you.
The best part? Every dollar raised goes directly toward the renovation of the Children's Library — creating a brighter, more inspiring space for the young readers who will walk through those doors for the next 15 years and beyond.
