The Valente Branch Library will remain closed through September for necessary repairs. An HVAC event in June resulted in water damage. HVAC repairs have been completed. The City has engaged a contractor to repair, restore, and remediate the damage that occurred, and this work will continue through September.
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. Find out more about other Library locations here.
We hope to be able to reopen the branch in October. 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.
