The Boston Public Library is a municipal library system in Boston, Massachusetts, delivering free educational, cultural, and civic enrichment through its collections, programs, and spaces. Founded in 1848, it helped define public library service in the United States, introducing features such as free lending, branch libraries, and a children's room. Based at 700 Boylston Street in Boston, the system includes a Central Library in Copley Square, twenty-five branches, and specialized centers like a map center, a business library, and an archival center, as well as extensive rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and digital resources. It hosts thousands of free educational programs and exhibitions and provides free library services online and in person to millions of people each year. In June 2026, Mayor Michelle Wu announced five new members of the Board of Trustees for the library: Meredith DeWitt, Marta Garcia, Paul Lee, Alexander Leventhal, and Wadi Muhammad.
