Cambridge Public Library

The Cambridge Public Library serves as a doorway to opportunity, self-development and recreation for all its residents, and as a forum where they may share ideas, cultures and resources among themselves and with people around the globe. The free availability of information, the lively interaction of people, and the open exchange of ideas animate and extend the democratic mission of the library. The library is a dynamic, community-oriented system providing excellent services, collections, and programs to all members of the community. We are dedicated to affording the people of Cambridge resources for recreational reading, independent learning, and the introduction of children to the world of literacy and learning. The Cambridge Public Library is designed to work as a unified system with a strong main library and six active branch libraries each tailored to the unique constituencies and needs of its immediate neighborhood.

    Sat, May 20, 2017
    U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer offers remarks about the Constitution of United States of America as part of Democracy Day celebrations in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Breyer speaks at 1:15 p.m. in the Main Library, Lecture Hall, including time for questions. “It is an honor to have Justice Breyer take part in Democracy Day,” said Maria McCauley, Director of Libraries. “In celebrating the Constitution with our Cambridge community it is quite special to get a visit from a United States Supreme Court Justice.” Democracy Day is a family oriented event centering around a public, participatory reading of the Constitution of the United States of America and its amendments. This event is part of the Our Path Forward series presented by the Library to affirm its commitment to public discourse and democracy.
