Pleasant experiences. Got a library card & made some copies. Then the copy machine ran outta paper but a Librarian restocked it. Earlier- a lady seemed slightly peeved about something & a dog barked a couple of times.

A fantastic place to study and has a surprisingly large book selection for the size of the space. The curated books on top of the shelves are so great— I found a fantastic book on city watercolor that I never would have though to look for myself. I love the open layout and the plant clippings exchange. I also found out about the BPL Headspace program from a flyer here, which I now use all the time. I only wish it had longer hours, especially on weekends when I have more time to go!

The staff here is so kind and helpful to everyone who comes in here(even if it's not strictly for books and its for help with food inscurity or community resources).It is super small but what it lacks in size or selection of books, t more than makes up for in attentiveness of staff and quietness. Although I enjoy the insanely broad selection of material at the main branch this is a much better place to study or read. Far less loud and hectic than other branches. Very quiet and peaceful. Only drawback is if they do loud activities or you get a loud person space is so small there is no where to get away and you just sort of have to hope it stops or leave and a few security members are a bit overzealous and rude occasionally. But other than that best BPL branch by far.

Im not sure where the adult section and kids section is, it all just kinda flows together at first. But it is quiet and VERY small

The staff is extremely helpful in regards to certain services & is willing to lend a helping hand when they can. One of my favorite librarys in Boston:)
I love Helen and her crew at West End, but got message late last night my requested book was available for pick-up, returned another book this morning, but doors were closed for Christmas Eve. Is that a holiday? Not for Santa.

Even though it may not be much to look at...This is the center of the West End Community offering movies, Tai Chi, diverse programing and a dedicated Friends Organization. Our library enriches the West End Experience.

I can't say enough of the personnel at The WestEnd Branch. Everyone of the Staff is kind, thoughtful and most helpful. I am grateful, that we have The WestEnd Public Library, so close to home. My hope is that the city of Boston continues to recognize this branch as a vital source, to obtain information and assistance in our community.
