Honan-Allston Branch Library

The Honan-Allston Branch Library spans 57,000 square feet, featuring a collection of 50,000 items, study spaces, and numerous computers for public access.

Library services in Allston began at Frank Howe's drugstore in 1889, leading to the establishment of a reading room in 1905 and full branch status in 1924.

The library maintains diverse language collections in Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, supporting the multicultural needs of local residents.

Located at 300 North Harvard Street, the library operates Monday through Saturday with varying hours, offering printing services, laptop lending, and meeting spaces.

The adjacent Raymond V. Mellone Park, created from a former concrete plant site, includes misting fountains and granite lion sculptures for community enjoyment.
