The reopening of the West End Branch Library on January 26 in a new building at 151 Cambridge street marked the completion of the first unit in an approved building program which encompasses a major addition to the Central Library and eight branch libraries. Branch library service was first established by the Trustees in the West End in 1894, when they converted the Old West Church, designed by Asher Benjamin in 1806, to branch library uses. Neighborhood changes due to urban renewal resulted in the suspension of service in 1960. The new building was designed by Maginnis Walsh Kennedy and constructed by the Charles Logue Building Company. The landscaping was done by Olmsted As sociates, Inc. Plantings are by Jay M. Berkson Land scaping, Inc. The building cost approximately Furnishings and equipment cost an additional It provides approximately square feet of space, and includes open shelving for more than volumes, seating facilities for 110 people, and an all-purpose room accommodating 75 persons. The exterior of the building is finished in red brick, concrete, and glazed aluminum frames of light color. The building is completely air-conditioned. An informal flagstone path leads to the entrance porch. The new library building looks out upon the historic Harrison Gray Otis House and turns its back to the modern eight story office building that abuts it to the west, creating an interlude of campus-like quiet in the New West End. Government Center workers and hospital staff members as well as residents of Beacon Hill and the West End have made good use of the services provided by the new library.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Boston Public Library, for the Year Ending June 30, 1982: And Report of the Examining Committee for 1981 The Examining Committee met on June 9, 1981 in the Trustees Room of the Boston Public Library. The meeting was addressed by the Director and attended by several representatives of groups concerned with the decrease in quantity and quality of library service available to the entire community. At the time Of the meeting the city had not allocated specific funds to the Library. The funding situation is still unclear in November as we submit our report. The report of the Examining Committee is not a full report on the condition of the library system but rather an inquiry into three areas - Services to the Public, Buildings, and Public Relations. As a result of the material made available to the Committee and analysis of the environment in which the Library now operates, the Report of the Examining Committee takes the form of a series of recommendations. In looking back over the years since the last printed report of the Examining Committee, one sees a remarkable record of outstanding achievements which can be pointed at with justifiable pride. The city has been generous with its support and the leadership of the Library has been wise, courageous, and far-seeing. We are now entering a time where the climate of popular Opinion has changed and the Library must fight to retain its gains and to continue its forward momentum.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boston Public Library: Annual Report for the Year Ending June 30, 1992; Document 15 At the time of the Boston Public Library's centennial anniversary in 1952, Boston's distinguished poet David mccord walked through the halls of the Library and described the people he saw there: anxious youth and the happy octogenarian rub elbows at the reading table. The escapist is lonely wife and the ambitious phrase man in search of his home-town newspaper and the high school girl in quest of a light in a terrible mid-year darkness. And today we would surely remember the homeless man who wrote in the Boston Globe how a summer in the stacks transformed his world. This year we are mindful more than ever of our Library constituencies. As we seek funds to restore the great mckim edifice and to expand ser vice to all, we take stock in images and in words, of where we are and where we aim to go. All the drama and vitality of the Library's collections and services, all the special attention to the needs and concerns of the peo ple of Boston and beyond are recorded in the annual report which follows.
