Beautiful historic library in Boston. Has a very gothic/Victorian style architecture which might make you feel like you are in a Harry Potter novel. It's all completely free and a great place to study, get work done or simply read.

    A Boston essential. Not only good for book lovers, but fans of art and history will love this refuge right in the heart of the city. Be respectful if you visit just for some photos, it is an active community resource hub and welcoming event space year round.

    The library in Boston is the first public city library in the United States. I like to see this classical and unique library. The library was designed and built by the architect, and the library has been built in eight years. Standing in front of the library door, next to Copley Square on BackBay, you can overlook the crowded Back Bay. The library is free to the public, and no tickets are required or advance reservations are required. I feel that Boston is also a city with a strong academic atmosphere. On weekends, the library is also full of people. Although there are tourists who shuttle in the library from time to time, everyone controls the volume very low and the library is still very quiet. There are two statues of goddess on both sides of the main entrance, and there is a sculpture courtyard in the center of the whole building. There are many seats along the fountain here, and the sun is down. It is very warm to sit here and read.

    We took the oldest urban subway system in the United States from Massachusetts State University in the southern suburbs and quickly arrived at the Hancock Building, which is superimposed like thousands of mirrors, on the side of the square. The Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library on the side really shined our eyes, with a colonial feel. Although they are more than a hundred years old, they are precious here. The library inherits the consistent characteristics of American public facilities, The interior is luxurious and retro Athens and Rome decoration, seems to be struggling to cover up the world's lack of cultural connotation of the embarrassment. Trinity church is more like directly from France, Spain and other Catholic countries, as if covered with medieval majesty and sacredness.

    Boston is also a major attraction, located in the west of the artist's Capley Square, next to the Trinity Cathedral, the traffic is very convenient. It is the largest public library in the United States. It has a lot of artistic flavor, although it is a library, because there are a lot of murals and beautiful sculptures in it. Suddenly, I felt that Boston is a very beautiful and artistic city with perfect combination of modern and classical. I really like it!

    Boston Public Library, across the street from Capley Square. It is the public library with the largest collection (second only to the Library of Congress, Harvard Library); the first public library to open a children's reading room; and the first public library to include video materials on loan. The Boston Public Library is also famous for its buildings. The architectural style is Renaissance. There are also many exquisite murals and sculptures in the library. Readers have their own desks in the reading room. Each desk is equipped with a lamp. The Boston Public Library also hosts a number of activities. In the center of the building is a courtyard surrounded by a Renaissance archway. The end of the Boston Marathon is at the Boston Public Library. Public libraries are found all over the United States, not only in New York, Boston, Chicago and other megacities, but also in some remote towns. The purpose of American public libraries is "to use the best books at the lowest cost for the largest number of readers". As long as they are local residents, they can get a library card. There is no charge for returning it on time. If it is overdue, there will be a charge. Many public libraries also have Chinese books (books published in mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan). Internet access is also free.
