Join us the last Friday of every month to watch Lord of Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring ( PG-13) on Central Square Library’s big screen and eat free popcorn! No registration required.

Install boxes for safe disposal of needles, lancets, or other sharp medical tools. These boxes would be located in high-need areas to provide more safe, convenient disposal options for sharps in the city.

The city’s Open Data Program makes government data easily available in useful formats, and is intended to increase transparency, foster engagement among residents, and create new opportunities for collaboration between Cambridge and the public.

This summer, 276 Cambridge pre-teens and middle schoolers participated in Cambridge Youth Programs’ (CYP) summer programs at Youth Centers. CYP also offered a variety of teen programming and internship opportunities to Cambridge teens.

Join us for a late brunch on the deck as we commemorate Memorial Day.
