The #BostonPublicLibrary's free Globe access has been really over-subscribed of late, it seems. Karen Read interest, maybe?

The courtyard at the Boston Public Library. A peaceful place in the midst of Boston's Back Bay.

Courtyard at the Boston Public Library. Beautiful, quiet space in the middle of the Back Bay.

In the center of the space is a bronze statue set in a reflecting pool with a fountains of water spring up about its base.

Not audible as it's a photo is the quiet of the place with the sound of the fountain in the background.

It's funny but I rarely cross the river and head into Boston. (Ok, I'm both spoiled and lazy.)

Walked to the Boston Public Library today. Many people don't appreciate how beautiful the place is. If you're visiting or a local and need a break, I highly recommend stopping for a visit. Just take a moment to enjoy the quiet, the AC and above all and the art and architecture.

Respected American illustrator Edwin Austin

Abbey (1852-1911) completed his first work in oil paint with this vibrant mural cycle, installed in the library in 1902. The murals follow the story of Sir Galahad on his quest for the Holy Grail.

THIS is the #Charlestown Branch of the #BostonPublicLibrary.(2/2)

Over a concrete slab running along the ground is a glass wall - a strip of floor to ceiling windows, with one concrete pointed 'foot' in front of the windows from the second, top floor above, which is a solid concrete slab except for a strip of four large windows.

With auto-renews, the amount of time you can hold onto #BostonPublicLibrary books is wild. I keep on thinking I need to get the books back, but I still have over a week left in my loan!

Freedom to Read Day of Action: Communities Unite Against Book Bans!

The freedom to read is an American value that must be protected. Book bans and challenges in the U.S. reached an all-time high in 2023 and continue to happen at an alarming rate. It's more important than ever to show support for local libraries and the freedom to read.

I bounced off Love in the Time of Cholera when it came out (I was in college) but it turns out I'm old enough for it now! \o/ #BostonPublicLibrary #AdultSummerReading

#BostonPublicLibrary adult summer reading bingo! What's your favorite book with an unreliable narrator? SFF preferred

so the #BostonPublicLibrary adult summer reading has TWO bingo cards this year! (bpl.org/bingo) Fun stuff, and I'm already digging into Mt. TBR.

A few photos around Boston

#Boston #rain #buildings #travel #bostonpubliclibrary #library #photography

Historic red brick corner building with turrets and a green copper roof, flanked by other traditional buildings, with pedestrians and traffic on the street.

A window with a city view showing brick buildings, lined with colorful books on the sill and a small figurine.

Wet brick sidewalk and street alongside row of historic red brick buildings, leafless trees, street lamps, and parked cars on an overcast day.

The #BostonPublicLibrary makes the New York Times and Wall Street Journal available for free to cardholders but not the Washington Post.
The Post has its problems, but IMHO it's still leaps and bounds ahead of the Times and the Journal. Also, it regularly published investigative journalism of national importance which isn't comparably covered by the Times or the Journal.
I've asked BPL to add the Post to their lineup. Perhaps you would like to as well? ask@bpl.org

Went to go see The Interrobangers from Company One tonight at BPL (did you know they have a theater in the basement?). I enjoyed it a lot; it’s a modern riff on scooby doo except the characters are actually explicitly queer this time. Sharing because this show deserves a bigger audience than it had tonight.

Also, for the covid cautious, Sunday shows are masks required.
