Upham’s Corner Branch Library
About
The Uphams Corner Branch of the Boston Public Library serves Dorchester’s Uphams Corner neighborhood with books, technology and community programs. The branch offers world language collections in French, Portuguese and Spanish, along with a Lucky Day collection. Its programs span all ages, with LEGO Club and all-ages story time, homework help from the Boston Teachers Union, poetry workshops for seniors and talks on financial fraud and scams targeting older adults.
The branch moved in 1904 from a temporary storefront on Dudley Street into its current home, a municipal building on Columbia Road. When a swimming pool on the floor below developed leaks, the library expanded into the space and turned it into a dedicated youth room. A Friends of the Uphams Corner Branch group supports the library, and the BPL website includes a page on an Uphams Corner Branch Project.
