The Vineyard Haven Public Library Building Fund, Inc. (VHPLBFI) is pleased to announce a $150,000 challenge grant for the library capital campaign. The campaign will fund construction of an addition to the library building to house an accessible multi-purpose community meeting room.
To date, the VHPLBFI has raised more than $1.4 million towards the $2 million capital campaign goal. Now a generous island family has offered a matching grant to help reach the fundraising goal by the end of the year. For every $3,000 donated to the campaign now, $1,000 in matching funds will be donated, up to $150,000 in matching funds for $450,000 in new gifts.
To donate, drop off items at the library's main desk during regular library hours, June 1st through June 9th. Donations of women’s and men's jewelry welcome, from fine to costume to vintage, along with new or gently-used scarves, belts, and purses (no hats please).
Please place small items such as jewelry in a sealed plastic bag, and kindly include a note for anything of special or significant value. Proceeds from the sale will fund new books, children’s programs, museum passes, and other Library services for the community.
The Friends of VHPL is a 501c3 organization and your contribution is tax deductible as provided by law. Donation receipts available by request.

“I AND YOU” is a play about the search for connection as two young adults (performed by two not-so-young Play Readers!) navigate a rocky path to a relationship. As they work together on a project in witty, non-stop repartee, they discover what makes up an ‘I and You’ relationship – a challenge as Caroline is housebound with a life-threatening illness while Anthony is a popular thriving athlete. Written by Lauren Gunderson, a multiple award-winning playwright, who in 2019 alone had a whopping total of 16 plays in production!
* Tickets are $25, sold at the Film Center or online at mvfilmsociety.com.
