With this memorable evening, HPLF aims to top its goal of $1 million for our library. Since 2011, HPLF has been honored to assist the community in raising over $975,000, over 97% of our community’s goal of raising $1 million in private gifts for our Library, an essential community resource. Hundreds of Hopkinton families, community organizations and businesses have come together to contribute to “1000 Homes for Hopkinton Library.” Having hosted over twenty successful events in the past 5 years ($250,000 raised), HPLF is excited to host this unique Benefit as the capstone to Library fundraising, as well as to celebrate the reopening of our Library - the anchor of Hopkinton Center since first opening in 1895. Last renovated in 1967, the building is now in the final stages of an $11.7 million renovation and expansion. After approximately a year and a half of construction, the Library will reopen in October at 13 Main Street.
