Give Thanks to Your Local Library!

During this season of gratitude SOLA, the Friends of the Stoughton Public Library, is thankful for all our library does for our community. We are also thankful for everyone whose financial contributions allow us to bolster the Stoughton Public Library's offerings. If you've participated in Stoughton Reads Together or the Summer Reading Program, checked out any of the museum passes, watched a public meeting or program filmed at the library or used the nooks to do some work or have a quiet moment with a child, you've benefited from SOLA's support of the SPL. We encourage you to give thanks to your local library this holiday season by joining and/or donating to SOLA; consider including SOLA in your plans for Giving Tuesday on December 2nd.
