We have been going to the library since my daughter was 5 months old and she just loves it. Now she is almost 3, she enjoys the story time at Faneuil and Brighton library.

We really appreciate all the things that libraries are doing for the community.

All the staff at the West Roxbury Library are very helpful and informative.  I commend all for their dedication and support.

Every week our family goes to the library. The only limit with my children is what they can carry. I love saying yes when so often I have to say no.  Thank you!

When she was 8 months old, I started bringing my daughter to the Brighton Branch of the Boston Public Library. It was a pleasant place to spend a little time looking at books. She even learned to crawl in the carpeted children’s section. My daughter is almost 5 now and we still like going even more so that the Brighton branch has been renovated and reopened.

I wish I knew her name. 68 years ago she made me part of the Jamaica Plain branch library with a card of my own.  She updated my withdrawals with that fascinating date-stamping machine that flipped the rubber printing surface from its resting place in the ink pad to unfailingly record the date of the withdrawal perfectly centered between the lines on the card in the pocket.  She also introduced me to the card index and all the treasures that could be found in it.  I’m a long time book-lover and a book-dealer because of that dear lady who took the time.  Happy 100th, JP Branch.
