Support the Library

The public library means a lot to the community.
So does your support.

On Christmas Day 1873, the Morse Institute Library was dedicated to be "of use and benefit to all the inhabitants of Natick.” During the past 138 years, through economic uncertainty and plenty, our doors have remained open.

We owe it all to the generosity and foresight of our benefactor, Mary Ann Morse, and those guided by her spirit throughout the years.

With your help, we’ll carry on, changing and growing, while honoring our tradition of supporting lifelong learning for all of Natick.

Below are some ways to support the library. For more information, contact Marie Nardi at 508-647-6524 or mnardi@minlib.net

Honor a friend, loved one, or teacher through our Gift Book Program.

For as little as $25, the library will purchase a book in your name, place a bookplate inside, and send an acknowledgement letter to the honoree or family.

Gift books are a great way to say "thank you" or note anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions.
