Boston Public Library US Map & Phone & Address
Copley Square, Boston; (617) 536-5400 Mine loves libraries. First of all, you can borrow books, cassettes, records, and videotapes all free of charge. But the big news at the library is all the other stuff wonderful free events of all kinds.
The BPL’s large Rabb Lecture Hall is the site of free lectures, from The Boston Sports Scene to Images of Violence in Our Society and Planning Your Retirement. The Rabb Lecture Hall is also the place to see movies for free, usually on Monday afternoons and evenings. Each month has a theme; recent series have included a tribute to Frank Capra and movies Made in Massachusetts. The library’s senior citizens club, the Never Too Late Group, also shows weekly films. There are exercise classes, writing workshops, story hours for kids, and book discussion groups. Stop in for a schedule of events.
And, don’t forget the BPL for art! In addition to contemporary painting and photography exhibits in its Great
Hall, venture upstairs in the old building for everything from American artists’ self-portraits to early baseball photos to rare manuscripts. Look for giant murals by John Singer Sargent on the hallway walls. If you want to more fully appreciate the building’s art and architecture, take a tour! See the listing under Walks and Tours. Many of the programs offered at the main BPL are also available at the numerous branches around the city. Call or stop into the one nearest you for more information.
