Cambridge Public Library – Central Square Branch

The Central Square Branch is the largest and busiest branch of the Cambridge Public Library. It holds a large collection of print materials along with a robust selection of DVDs and CDs. Its Rotary Technology Learning Center provides fourteen computers and two printers for public use, giving visitors a place in Central Square to get online and print documents during their visit.

Families can head to the separate third-floor Children’s Room, which runs weekly story times and Toddler Sings sessions. The Literacy Project offers free ESL classes for English learners at all levels, and the On the Wall Gallery features a different local artist each month. Community groups can book the Lewis Room for free public events, and the branch posts its programming on a calendar of events.
