Aiming to provide foundational information about our neighborhood to a New Library Programming Study Team to be formed by the BPL, the City Facilities Department, and architectural designers, FOSEL has compiled data regarding organizations that reside in the South End through direct interviews and online research, and has prepared two reports summarizing what we learned:

• SE Community Outreach Initiative (Summary information about the South End with data sheets)

• Introducing our Community (A visual report showing the “face” of the South End)

The organizations researched were selected for their potential and current use of Library services, and fall into four categories: local nonprofits that support people and families, churches, schools, and neighborhood associations.

These reports were shared with BPL President, David Leonard, and BPL Director of Library Services, Priscilla Foley in February in anticipation of the programming study to explore South End Library needs, current and future.
