This Saturday, November 4, the East Boston Branch of the Boston Public Library is celebrating its 10th anniversary at its current location. The East Boston Branch is the first branch library in the US, opened in its original location in 1870 and reopened in its current building 10 years ago.
The branch is hosting a full day of celebration with activities for all age groups. See the full schedule here or below my signature.

Have a great week!
