This gorgeous, airy library is fantastic! Very large collection of books and other forms of media, and the staff are super friendly. There's plenty of space to sit and work, and they host a variety of events throughout the year.
MoreMain Cambridge University Library is amazing , where you can get books published in 17th Century till date more or less to all topics published in any where from History to Modern science but one should go with some spare time to fully explore the library as it is such a huge set up which one can't explore with very short spane of time like 1 -2. i recommend to visit this precious Knowledge bank when ever some one visit Cambridge. i feel lucky to visit this great library of the world.
MoreLovely building and employees with a huge selection of books either in-house or at other satellite locations.
MoreWhether you prefer historical traditional New England reading room, contemporary glass study room, enthusiastic kid's spot or teen scene, there is something for everyone. In November they host a number of NaNoWriMo events as well as year round full programing, complete with lecture hall and weather permitting an enclosed outdoor space. The front lawns are frequently utilized as well with play ground and tennis courts abutting.
MoreThe new part (or relatively new) of Cambridge Public Library is refreshing, with natural light and airy spacious feel. Really enjoyable to spend time reading there.
