April 29, 2014, Hopkinton, Mass. – Middlesex Savings Bank has pledged to give $75,000 toward the renovation and expansion of Hopkinton Public Library.  Upon successful votes to fund the new library at the May 5 Annual Town Meeting and May 19 Town Election, Middlesex Savings Bank will make a charitable gift of $75,000 (over 3 years) to the Hopkinton Public Library Foundation in support of the restoration, renovation and expansion of Hopkinton Public Library.  The Bank’s generous pledge puts the Foundation’s fundraising at over $350,000 in 1000 Homes for Hopkinton pledges and contributions since October 2013, and $450,000 in total, toward a state-of-the-art, spacious, and accessible Library for Hopkinton’s 15,000 residents.
