Part of the King Open and Cambridge Street Upper Schools and Community Complex, the new Valente Branch Library offers over 10,000 square feet of space and is easily accessible via the 69 bus. Designed by William Rawn Associates, the branch is constructed to be a Net-Zero building, aiming to produce as much renewable energy as it consumes. Visitors may check out books and more, including bocce equipment for the outdoor court, and enjoy free events for all ages.
