Area Library Privilges
Boston Public Library
If you are a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, you are eligible
for a library card for the Boston Public Library. Library users from outside Massachusetts may apply for
a courtesy card for the purpose of using Research Library materials.
Courtesy cards may also be issued to Massachusetts residents who do not
have proper identification.
In addition to its 6.1 million books, the library boasts over 1.2 million
rare books and manuscripts, a wealth of maps, musical scores and prints.
Among its large collections, the BPL holds several first edition folios
by William Shakespeare, original music scores from Mozart to Prokofiev's
"Peter and the Wolf;" and, in its rare book collection, the personal library
of John Adams. Due to the extent of the collections, many items are displayed
on a rotating basis. These unique Special Exhibits are shown in the Research
Library and offer the public an opportunity to view books and documents which
are usually available only to research scholars.
The Boston Public library also offer BPL Big Dig, an online research tool,
powered by Webfeat, that allows you to search many of the library's licensed
database products at one time. The tool includes nearly all the subscription
databases that the library offers both in house and remotely.
