I will Never stop feeling that I matter and if any Cambridge employee doesnt like it they are in the wrong business. Rainbows are...

I happened to come while there was some event going on; I think it was musical but I no longer recall. The front yard is large and people like to hang out there lounging (at least during the summer). It is such a lovely library! They seem to have many resources including a MakerSpace and lots of study areas. The person at the front desk was very friendly and helped me set up a library card, which any Massachusetts resident can do (not just Cambridge). The kids’ area was also lively. I had fun browsing my favorite author, cookbooks, and the June...
