Puppetry Studio (Main)
We will adapt the tale "The Tortoise and the Hare" and perform our masterpiece for family and friends. Using a ChompSaw (a kid-safe power tool), participants will safely cut cardboard to create shadow puppets. This four-week puppetry workshop is for youth ages 7-10. We will meet on March 5, 12, 19 and 26.
Registration is required. Participants much attend all sessions and have read a version of the tale before the first session. Visit the Children's Room to pick up a copy of the book or call 617-349-4038.

The City of Cambridge Relief and Recovery Programs, the Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund and Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA) Zero-Interest Loan program for small businesses, CDBG-CARES Act and ARPA programs are distributing over $6.6 million to Cambridge small businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis.
16-18 Wendell Street
Purchased in July 2024, the Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) converted16-18 Wendell Street, a dormitory previously owned by Lesley University, into 22 units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) to serve individuals and couples exiting homelessness in Cambridge. The 16-18 Wendell project was awarded annual funding for services from the Commonwealth through the Massachusetts Shelter and Housing Alliance’s (MHSA) Home and Healthy for Good program. There are four full-time service staff on site. In excellent and in near turn-key condition when purchased, the property began lease-up in Fall 2024, following the completion of some minor renovations to create new office space at the property.
New Enclosed Bins Combat Rodents and Improve Recycling
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is installing 200 new fully enclosed BigBelly bins starting in September 2025 to combat rodent activity and prevent litter. These new bins, which include both trash and recycling stations, will replace almost all of the open-top trash cans currently in the city.
