Istwa nou Bibliyotèk Turner gratis te fonde atravè yon don jenere pa fanmi Turner an 1874. Randolph se te youn nan tout ti bouk nan Massachusetts ki te gen yon bibliyotèk piblik. Estrikti orijinal la se te yon bilding granit diyite ki sitiye nan kè Randolph nan Crawford Square. Yon dife reklame bilding majestic sa a sou 6 desanm 1962. Bilding lan ak sa ki ladan l yo te demoli nèt. Nan yon zak devosyon etonan ak dezenterese nan sèvis bibliyotèk piblik, biznis te rekòmanse jou sa a ak sis liv nan yon espas sou prè soti nan Legliz la kongregasyon akote. "Nouvo" bibliyotèk la louvri tankou ponpye yo te kontinye soumèt blaze la. Pou yon tan bibliyotèk la opere soti nan yon kabwèt estasyon ak yon siy sou tèt ki li "Turner gratis Bibliyotèk," e li te kondwi ozalantou vil la pa volontè yo. Bibliyotèk la te rebati sou tè orijinal la bay pa Turners yo, epi li louvri sou 6 septanm 1966. Sèvis nan piblik la te jije tèlman enpòtan ke yo louvri anvan yo te delivre mèb yo. (...) Jodi a, Bibliyotèk Turner gratis se yon manb nan rezo ansyen bibliyotèk koloni an , yon koperativ de 28 bibliyotèk ki pataje materyèl ak sèvis.

Thank you to the Turner Free Library, Randolph leaders, and community members for their partnership and advocacy on behalf of our students.” “The Town of Randolph is excited for this amazing opportunity to expand outreach and literacy initiatives through Congresswoman Pressley’s FY23 Community Project Funding,” said Brian Howard, Randolph Town Manager. “We are grateful to Congresswoman Pressley for her continued advocacy for the Town of Randolph and its many residents.” “The Turner Free Library has always been a leading example of outreach and equity in the Town of Randolph through innovative and inclusive programming and services. We are excited to facilitate this collaborative outreach to increase literacy rates in our community,” said Elizabeth LaRosee, Randolph Director of Library, Recreation, and Community Program. “The upcoming Library Bookmobile will bring books, technology, and innovation to all corners of Randolph.” “We are so grateful for this opportunity to take our early literacy initiatives outside the library’s walls and directly to Randolph’s students! Research has shown that reading to children increases their language acquisition and improves their literacy skills, all of which has long term ramifications for our students,” Sharon Parrington-Wright, Turner Free Library Director. “One in six children who are not reading proficiently in the third grade will not graduate on time from high school, affecting their long-term academic and economic success. The Mobile Services Project will allow us to provide free and equitable access to library resources and staff for more than 2,000 Randolph Public School students.” “We are very excited for the opportunity to partner with the Turner Free Library and Congresswoman Pressley’s office to bring even more literacy initiatives to our students,” said Thea Stovell, Randolph Public Schools Superintendent. “The Randolph Public Schools are committed to bringing literacy and STEM to the forefront of our learning environment through this innovative collaboration.” Request a Bookmobile Visit Interested in having the Page Turner visit your organization or public event?
