About The Associates of the Boston Public Library

The Associates is an independent non-profit that raises funds to preserve, digitize, and promote the Boston Public Library’s Special Collections and its historic, literary, and artistic treasures. Since its inception in 1972, the Associates has been the driving force and sponsor behind an extensive range of programs, including Literary Lights— an annual black-tie dinner that honors exceptional New England authors, the Writer-in-Residence program—which provides an emerging writer with the financial support and office space within the Boston Public Library to complete a literary manuscript for children or young adults, the Pierce Performance Series—free public performances that seek to raise the visibility of the Boston Public Library’s Special Collections—, and other programs.
