One of the great sites near Copley Square- murals on 2nd and 3rd floors by Abbey and John Singer-Sargeant are a wonderful reminder of what public works used to be like. The library's reading room is a classic- wooden tables, green-shaded lamps, tall vaulted ceiling with carved ornamentation.
If you are anywhere near Copley Square, you must at the very least walk into the library and explore the two floors by the front entry. The craftsmanship of wood and marble are really comparable to the Library of Congress in D.C. As mentioned in a previous post, there is a T station located right next to the library.
美国的图书馆真的很多 由此也可见 美国对于教育的重视 基本上每个小镇都有 而对于boston这个城市而言 更是不例外 boston的公立图书馆的位置也很好 就在copley广场上 市中心 里面有很多书 以及影碟之类 可以借阅也可以在里面看 周末放松的一个好去处
Beautiful library, but not as inspiring as a library can be. The building is a must see in the city with its historical architecture.
With everything being closed due to snow we had to think outside the box a bit. This was a great place to visit. Free in and parts of it looked more like a palace than a library!
It's definitely worth popping in if you're near Copley Square. The architecture is stunning and the interior courtyard is a lovely surprise. A lovely place to warm up, relax and theres a cafe too.
此次美国东部之星,最喜欢的要数波士顿和华盛顿的两个图书馆,实在是非常漂亮,进到图书管里非常的安静,所有的装饰都非常的古典而漂亮。
Beautiful building - three floors - well worth a visit. Open 7 days a week although sunday only for a few hours.
Nice place to hang out and more books and study spaces than you can imagine! Very pretty and cute. Check out the church around the corner too
波士顿公共图书馆是美国的一个大型公共图书馆,也是美国第一家允许个人把书籍借回家阅读的图书馆。这个始建于十九世纪中叶的建筑绝对是波士顿最美的公共建筑之一。各色大理石配合精美的壁画,成就了一个气势恢宏的建筑。建筑中心天井里的喷泉是阅读劳累时放松的好地方。图书馆全年免费向游人开放,周日闭馆。
