The renovated Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library reopened on Saturday, May 20, 2017. The $10 million renovations of the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library revitalize the branch services and spaces, including a 20% increase in space for the community to read, browse the book collection, access computers, attend, and host meetings, and participate in programming.

DISTINCTIVE ASPECTS OF THE COLLECTION

The branch holds a large collection of local history books, local poets’ works, mysteries, cookbooks, graphic novels, Teen materials, travel guides, classic American and foreign DVDs, and children’s picture and chapter books. The children’s room has a collection called “Picture Peace,” which contains books on peace, respect, and creative conflict resolution. The branch also houses a collection of adult and children’s Spanish language materials.
