Central Square Branch

Our largest branch is home to the Cambridge Public Library Literacy Project and the Rotary Technology Learning Center.

The Central Square Branch is the city’s largest and busiest branch. Just steps from the Central Square MBTA stop on the Red Line and next door to the Green Street parking garage, the Library is conveniently located no matter what your form of transportation. We offer free Wi-Fi and our Rotary Technology Learning Center has fourteen computers and two printers for public use. We have a robust DVD and CD collection in addition to our large collection of print materials. Our separate third floor Children’s Room runs weekly story times and Toddler Sings. The Literacy Project offers free ESL classes for all levels of English learners. Our On the Wall Gallery highlights a different local artist each month and our Lewis Room is available for booking your free public events. Check out the Calendar of Events for more programming information.
