Cambridge Public Library
Cambridge Public Library, Public library in Cambridge, United States.
The Cambridge Public Library at 449 Broadway features a Romanesque architectural style building with detailed stonework and a prominent entrance.
Frederick Rindge funded the construction of the main library building in 1888, designed by architect Henry Van Brunt following the transformation from Cambridge Athenaeum.
The library system maintains extensive collections across seven branches, offering educational programs, author readings, workshops, and community events throughout Cambridge.
The institution provides city-wide delivery services to homebound residents and maintains digital resources, including e-books and databases accessible remotely.
The 2009 expansion introduced the first European Double-Skin Curtainwall technology in the United States, tripling the building's original space.
