Bedford Foundation Block

Bedford Library Foundation

Founded in 1993, The Bedford Public Library Foundation is a non-profit organization created by a group of Bedford citizens as a way to raise money from within our community to support non-budget items for the Library.

This extra funding enriches our Library and enables it to continue to be a vital, vibrant, up-to-date community center for all ages.
