FITCHBURG — The Fitchburg Public Library has announced the adoption of a new mascot, an owl, which is made possible with a $7,850 donation from All One Credit Union.

Bank officials said “This donation reflects All One Credit Union’s commitment to supporting education, literacy, and community connections. As the Fitchburg Public Library building project continues — including renovations to the Wallace Building and an addition that will house the children’s library and public meeting space, the mascot will become a great addition by helping to create opportunities for engagement and fun.

“Thanks to the generous support of All One Credit Union, our new mascot will help us connect with families in a new way,” stated Deb Hinkle, Director, Fitchburg Public Library. “A mascot is a memorable ambassador for the library that will bring energy and approachability to every event we attend, from school visits to community celebrations.”

The new owl mascot showcases the Fitchburg Public Library logo on the front and the All One Credit Union logo on the sleeve, adding a recognizable presence at events and representing our community partnership. This new owl mascot will represent the entire library.

“We are proud to partner with the Fitchburg Public Library in bringing their beloved mascot to life, a joyful symbol that inspires curiosity, sparks imagination and makes every visit a little more magical for readers of all ages. By supporting this initiative, we are helping create memorable experiences, encourage a lifelong love of learning, and strengthen the bonds within our communities,” said Barbara Mahoney, president and CEO, of All One Credit Union.

The Fitchburg Public Library will invite the community to share name ideas throughout the summer at various events and through social media engagement, with the final selection announced in the fall.
