Community members are welcome to choose up to four packets of seeds from the available selection at no cost. Supplies are limited and on a first come, first served basis.

Nuestra historia Turner Free Library fue fundada a través de una generosa donación de la familia Turner en 1874. Randolph fue una de las primeras ciudades de Massachusetts en tener una biblioteca pública. La estructura original era un edificio de granito digno ubicado en el corazón de Randolph en Crawford Square. Un incendio se apoderó de este majestuoso edificio el 6 de diciembre de 1962. El edificio y su contenido fueron completamente demolidos. En un acto asombroso y desinteresado de devoción al servicio de la biblioteca pública, el negocio se reanudó ese mismo día con seis libros en un espacio prestado por la Iglesia Congregacional de al lado. La "nueva" biblioteca se abrió mientras los bomberos continuaban apagando el fuego. Durante un tiempo, la biblioteca operó desde una camioneta con un letrero en la parte superior que decía “Biblioteca libre de Turner” y fue conducida por la ciudad por voluntarios. La biblioteca fue reconstruida en el terreno original donado por los Turner y se inauguró el 6 de septiembre de 1966. El servicio al público se consideró tan importante que abrió antes de que se entregaran los muebles. En la actualidad, Turner Free Library es miembro de Old Colony Library Network , una cooperativa de 28 bibliotecas que comparten materiales y servicios. Ofrecemos una amplia gama de eventos gratuitos para niños, adolescentes, adultos y personas mayores que están abiertos a todos. En Turner Free Library, encontrará alrededor de 67,000 libros, películas, audiolibros, videojuegos y tecnología que puede llevar a casa . What We Do Our Mission Our Vision Our History
