7th Annual Library After Dark Gala

About Library After Dark

Now, more than ever, it is clear how important libraries are to society. More than the books on the shelves, libraries are a place for community, release from the pressures of everyday life, and a place of learning and laughter.

Our gala celebrates MCPL and all those who are instrumental in the success of our libraries. Join FOLMC & MCPL staff and volunteers, elected officials, and philanthropists to honor our awardees and raise funds to continue their great work.

This year, we’re thrilled to announce the Honorable Connie Morella is our Honorary Chair. “My husband proposed to me at the Boston Public Library,” Morella says. “Libraries have become community connectors,” she continued. “The library is free—not confined by any political climate. It is the most democratic of institutions. No one can tell you what, when, or how to read. It is where ideas are born and where history comes to life.”
