Boston Public Library

Founded in the 19th century, the Boston Public Library is housed in a grand building designed by architect Charles Follen McKim. Located in Copley Square, the central library spans two buildings and stands as the second largest public library in the United States, surpassed only by the Library of Congress. Visitors can explore its vast collections and admire the architectural details, including the ornate interiors and expansive reading rooms, which serve millions of Bostonians each year.
