We’re excited to embark on a new chapter at Cambridge Public Library: a new name, a new logo, and renewed commitment to our community. As we begin this journey, our main goal is to deepen our connection with YOU—our members and community, the heart of our story.

We have marveled at your creations in the Makerspace and during our craft programs. We’ve celebrated your achievements as you completed school assignments and smiled at the giggles of children exploring the library. We’ve appreciated your love of reading, sharing your excitement about the latest book you've read, and we are thrilled to help you find your next great read.
