New Saxonville / McAuliffe Branch Planned

FRAMINGHAM, MA - Framingham's McAuliffe Branch Library receives construction grant.

After years of being on the waiting list for construction dollars from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commisssioners, the library was awarded a $1,654,493 provisional Library Construction Grant to build a new branch library in Saxonville.

It's another first for Framingham as we are the first to ever receive a state grant for a branch.

There are some conditions, including the town securing funding for the community's share of the $5,000,000 building project.

Proposed site for the new building is at the roadside corner of the Pinefield Shopping Center opposite the current McAuliffe building.

Donations and community support will be needed to make this happen. Look for announcements about fundraisers soon.
