Mission:

The new East Boston Branch opened in November 2013. At 15,000 square feet in size, the East Boston Branch features an open floor plan with dedicated areas for children, teens, and adults. The creation of a dedicated space for teens is new for library service in East Boston as is the creation of an early literacy nook in the children's area, the first in the Boston Public Library system. Other features of the library include free building-wide wifi, 54 computers available for public use, a flexible multipurpose room, and a quiet reading room with materials dedicated to East Boston's history. The building was designed by William Rawn Associates Architects, Inc., as a capital project of the City of Boston, managed by the Property and Construction Management Department.
