Support
the Dyer
Contribute Funds
Although the library’s resources are available to the public at
no cost, the Dyer is entirely privately funded and receives no government
support. At present, the Dyer Memorial Library operates out of funds derived
from investment income of two trusts: Marietta Dyer’s original bequest
and a trust established in the 1980s through the generosity of Joseph
Murphy, a former library trustee who bequeathed his estate to the Dyer.
Monetary contributions are always needed for general operating expenses
as well as for specific projects. The Dyer Memorial Library appreciates
contributions in order to continue serving the needs of the community.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss funding a project.
Gifts can be made by check payable to Dyer Memorial Library, and sent
to P.O. Box 2245, Abington, MA 02351. Please let us know if your employer
has a matching gift program.
Please contact us if you would like information on how to include the
Dyer Memorial Library in your estate planning.
Donate Documents/Artifacts
If you have material relating to Old Abington which you would like to
give to the Dyer, please contact us to discuss your gift.
Volunteer
Get involved! We welcome anyone who can help us to better serve the community.
A variety of short-term and on-going projects are available that are designed
to match a volunteer’s skills, interests, and schedule. Volunteers
develop their own schedules, based on the library’s operating hours.
All work is done on site at the library.
Volunteer opportunities may include but are not limited to: archiving
collections, cataloging and creating finding aids, exhibit preparation
and installation, filing and photocopying projects, newsletter production,
preservation work, and shelf reading.
We appreciate your gift of time, whatever it may be.

Images of America: Abington by Sharon Orcutt Peters
presents an illustrated portrait of what it was like to live and
work in the town during the 19th and 20th centuries. Abington was
founded and built around the mills, and then grew with the times
to become a focal point for the thriving shoe industry. The book
shows how throughout history, its central location between Boston
and Plymouth shaped Abington forever. |
| Author Sharon Orcutt Peters is a member of the Abington
Historical Commission and a resident of Abington. She is also a
freelance writer who has produced works pertaining to South Shore
history. |
The book retails for $19.99 (Massachusetts residents please add 5% sales
tax) – a portion of which goes directly to support our programs.
