A browser's heaven is located in the building designed by Philip Johnson. Over 700,000 books, DVDs and CDs are at your fingertips ranging over four floors. We feature new books, career, travel, literacy, and large print books. A collection of world language books representing more than forty languages is located on the mezzanine level. General Reference is on the second floor which features an encyclopedia corner and a collection of books on Boston, past, present, and future.

Staff prepares selected bibliographies on genre fiction, popular topics, and Quick Picks. Genre Fiction is interfiled with the general fiction. Stickers are placed on the spines of books describing the genre.
