The kind of library I want to be at all autumn long… Welcome to the Boston Public Library 🍁📖☕️📚 Did you know that it was the first large free municipal library in the United States? That’s right, it’s still free to enter! Anyone can walk in and spend the day working from here. If I lived in Boston, you’d find me here all the time! And the library is HUGE. This famous room is Bates Hall which is the original reading room at the Central Library. Named for Joshua Bates, the BPL’s first major benefactor! Bates grew up without a public library, was self-taught, and therefore knew the importance of education access being available to everyone. His conditions for the donation? He requested that the library be warm, well lit and provide space for at least 150 people to read - and most importantly remain free to all. “Free to all” remains the library’s motto today! 🥰 📍Boston Public Library, Massachusetts, USA 🇺🇸 #bostonlibrary libraries around the world, best libraries, bucket list libraries #libraries #librariesaroundtheworld #visittheusa best places in the United States, visit Boston, visit Massachusetts #darkacademiaaesthetic
