Welcome to the Concord Public Library Foundation!
A library offers books – physical and digital – and a vast array of information resources. But libraries are about far more than books and information: libraries are free, public spaces for use by ALL – regardless of age, ability, socioeconomic status, or anything else! Like all good libraries, Concord Public Library (CPL) has long been a community hub, and the staff go above and beyond to serve the public every day, offering top-notch assistance and programming in a facility designed only to store and lend books more than 80 years ago.
The staff and trustees of Concord Public Library and the board of the Concord Public Library Foundation (CPLF) have been dreaming about – and planning for – a bigger, modern, more accessible library space for decades.

The 2025 Concord Reads program, featuring Ty Gagne and his book, Where You'll Find Me, wrapped up on April 24, with a terrific sold-out author event!
Thank you to CPLF volunteers and Concord Public Library staff, and the hundreds of library enthusiasts who read Ty's books and participated in the many programs related to Where You'll Find Me. Most of all, thanks to Ty Gagne, who has written three (so far!) riveting books and who was an excellent guest throughout a busy day of events in Concord.
