💚 It's one of our favorite events – and this year was incredible!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Bow Market Book Fair – your generous donations raised more than $300 to support the library. That's enough to fully fund a library program, like the recent Art of Medicinal Herb Blending. 🌿
Thanks to the amazing bookish brains at @bow.market for inviting us. We can't wait till next year!

You came. You sipped. You supported. 🍻
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Pint Night – and to @winterhillbrewingcompany for hosting! Together, we raised $365 for the library. That’s enough to fund a cultural pass to @thetrustees , giving hundreds of Somerville residents the chance to explore stunning historic, scenic, and ecological treasures across Massachusetts.
Cheers to community, craft beer, and making a difference!
