About FPLF and the Framingham Public Library
With the support of generous donors, the FPLF has successfully completed several projects
Main Library
McAuliffe Library
Current Project – the Technology & Learning Center
Instructor-led classes will include everything from safely shopping online to researching your family tree, to digital photography and graphics, to using databases for research, for students. The TLC will have something for everyone, whether you’re a student learning how to code or a senior learning how to use your new Chromebook.
The TLC will also provide resources for job seekers and budding entrepreneurs. You can learn how to use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) as well as sharpen your interview skills and create your resume.
In addition, the TLC’s resources will help expand the library’s Homework Center by providing new breakout spaces, furnishings, and materials to the city’s K-12 students.

Makerspace
In 2019 the Foundation raised funds to transform the children’s craft room in the Main Library into a fully-equipped Makerspace for patrons of all ages. Makerspaces are collaborative work spaces for making, learning, exploring and creating using a variety of technology, tools, and materials. These spaces help people acquire STEAM skills (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math). Makerspaces encourage hands-on learning and critical thinking, and they even help to boost self-confidence. The City of Framingham funded the physical changes to the Makerspace room.
