Valente Branch Library Closed for Maintenance

The Valente Branch Library is closed until further notice due to HVAC issues. 

During this closure, the Valente Branch book return will also be closed. Patrons can use any of the other six Cambridge Public Library locations to check out and return books and attend programs. The O’Connell Branch library at 48 Sixth Street is the nearest location. All materials on hold at the Valente Branch Library have been transferred to the Main Library. Find out more about other Library locations here. Summer Sunday hours will be offered at the O’Neill Branch Library at 70 Rindge Ave. from July 6-August 24.

We hope to be able to reopen the branch by late July. Information about the reopening of the Valente Branch will be announced as it is available. Patrons can visit the website, subscribe to the Director’s weekly message, and follow the Library on X, Instagram, or Facebook for the most up to date information on the reopening of the Branch.
