Established in 1848, the Boston Public Library was the first large free municipal library in the United States. Today, the Central Library is a “palace for the people” that houses 23 million items and attracts visitors and researchers from around the world. Come by on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. (June-August) to hear a wide variety of Berklee performers in the Library’s Courtyard. (View Map )
