The Abbot Public Library Foundation (APLF) is thrilled to announce the reopening of Abbot Public Library. This reopening delivers on the promise APLF made to the taxpayers during the LIBRARY YES campaign to save, renovate and transform Abbot Public Library into a 21st century gathering place of innovation, learning, and knowledge. The 2024 APLF Reopening Gala will allow you to witness this transformation as you walk through our beautifully remodeled building. We hope you will consider joining us as a sponsor of the APLF Reopening Gala: Where History Meets the Future. Years in the making, we couldn’t be prouder of the accomplishments shared by all the teams who worked together to bring this transformation to fruition. Join us as the library returns to its stunningly refurbished home and see the bright meeting rooms, the 21st century maker space, airy gathering spaces, the Carten Gallery, and a thoughtfully reimagined garden. APLF was created to fulfill its role as part of an unprecedented partnership to raise funds to renovate the library and to establish a $2 million endowment to ensure that the library’s technology and infrastructure maintenance needs could be met and sustained for years to come. The purpose of this endowment is to bridge the gap between where we’ve been and where we’re going. The reopened Abbot Public Library will be the place where tradition meets innovation, where the wisdom of ages past intersects with the boundless creativity of tomorrow. We hope it also serves as a reminder that, as stewards of this beloved institution, we have the power to shape our future. Your sponsorship supports this vision and the journey towards the $2 million endowment. Please help us get to the finish line and support us in our commitment to leave a lasting legacy of a library that has the capacity to keep reimagining and writing its own story for generations to come.
