Boston Public Library Reviews

Whatever you are doing in Boston, go here. WOW! WOW! WOW! What a great job by a community

A wonderful place to study. Power sockets are available under each table and the working atmosphere is wonderful, since all these busy people encourage you to stay focussed :)

Probably one of the most impressive libraries I have visited! From the beautiful statues at the entrance, light fixtures that look like they came from Narnia, incredible murals painted on the walls and ceilings, to an absolutely fascinating children s library, this place should not be missed! We spent a few hours here and could have spent all day!

Super quiet place to work
Close late i love

One of the most beautiful libraries I've been in. Not only that, but it is extremely functional. Open late to the public, worth a stop!

The door to the door and a door can see the free to all slogan, how good the place. Why do you say that Boston has nothing to play with? You can stay here for a day.

This library is so beautiful and a must see on your visit to Boston. I m pretty sure a lot of movies were probably filmed here. There is a lot of history just in this one library and the architecture is beautiful!

After a 4 hour flight delay to get here, we arrive rather late, we actually ran to our hotel to drop our things and ran straight here. It is hands down the most beautiful library I have ever sat eyes on. I watched my boyfriend almost shed a man tear as it has always been his dream to go here. It's a lot bigger in person than I ever imagined! Please take time out of your day to visit here!

This is a great public library that blended history and contemporary style in one location. A sight to see for sure!

GREAT PLACE !! accessible !! lots of views go check it out !!!

I loved the place, the old part combined with the modern one makes it a very special place to visit for people of all ages, it offers some romanticism in art.

What a beautiful library. First public library in the United States

Nice building,worth a visit.
Beautiful Court yard too.

Apart from being tourist spot it is a great place to work and study for free. The Study Halls are spotless, quiet and most tables have plugs.
Super clean bathrooms and coffee downstairs.
Wi-Fi is not very stable.

Founded in 1848, the BPL contains more than 8.9 million books and related items; it's the second largest library in the United States. Take some time to walk through the BPL halls: patrons will be sitting/reading, and observe the current More

Incredible Experience of American History. And please do not forget to return your book or your name will be announced on the outer walls. :-)

Such a grand library! There are lots of places to sit down and read!
A very beautiful library, you can sit down and read.

I absolutely lived this library. When you walk in, there is this modern looking library with tons of technology and a radio station and a very very tasty cafe But what I really like is how the main part of it is how historical it is when you go throughout the old parts. Tons of old maps and books and murals on the ceilings and walls. It was like walking through time. Would definitely recommend going. Even for a date. Plus the courtyard is very relaxing if you want to just chill or read, or even do homework.
