 THE WELLESLEY FREE LIBRARY CENTENNIAL FUND
Centennial Fund Trustees

The Centennial Fund
was founded in 1983 (on the Library's 100th birthday) as a permanent endowment to "enrich and enhance" the basic Town-funded collection.  Since that time, the Fund has given roughly $900,000, including 24% of the FY09 materials budget, to the Library.

The Centennial Fund provides funds which allow the Library Director to experiment and build collections that would otherwise not be possible; purchase exciting new databases; and showcase evolving materials formats.  In addition, the Fund provides enhancement grants for collections whose usage has increased.  The Fund has enabled the WFL to establish a legacy of the highest quality specialized reference materials, art and coffee-table books, foreign-language film DVDs, classical music CDs, and special editions.
