DISTINCTIVE ASPECTS OF THE COLLECTION
The collection is a good example of what one finds in a small neighborhood branch -- best sellers, a core group of popular fiction and a representative non-fiction collection.

RECURRING PROGRAMMING OFFERED
Preschool Storytime Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. for children ages 6 and under accompanied by an adult.
Additional programs for both adults and children are offered throughout the year.

PLANNING PROCESS

HISTORY
The Orient Heights Branch Library opened in 1912. The building was built by the Druker family who leased it to the City of Boston. In 1986, the Druker family donated it to the City. Since 1967 the Branch has been linked with the East Boston Branch. After a fire damaged the collection in 1982 the building was reopened as a Reading Room.
