SUPPORT THE LIBRARY
The Worcester Public Library has been an outstanding resource for the residents of Worcester and Worcester County since 1859. We are proud to offer the newest materials, as well as valued older books, computerized services, and free programs at our three locations. Private support supplements city and state funding and help increase the number and variety of services available at Main Library, the Frances Perkins Branch Library at Greendale and the Great Brook Valley Branch Library. There are many ways to support the Worcester Public Library.
