Great selection of books, friendly staff too! I want to check out the Beehive more but normally am not free for their hours You can use a Minuteman library card for any of their locations (Main, Central, Somerville, Valente, etc)

Really great library system. I live in Boston, and borrow books from both Boston and Cambridge public libraries. Though BPL is presumably among the best in the world, about 1/3 of the time Cambridge library system will have an obscure older book that Boston won't. Smaller suburban branches of Cambridge public library harbor amazing old stuff.

A perfect venue to sit and study! Went with my friend as she finished up her finals; found a nice table on the second floor with a view of the entire street. Plenty of seating options and study areas, and a very peaceful atmosphere! The building is close to a playground and a market if one has kids or wants to take a break from studying for a snack!

Absolutely 100%. The library is a free and public institution and is there for the people, you don't need a library card, you just need to be a person. Feel free to browse books and use resources at a table while you're there, obviously if you want to bring a book home, you're going to need to get a library card, in which case you may need a proof of new address, usually one or two pieces of mail, or an electric bill

Must I ask you know I have been wondering how great is the quality of the parking?

There is street parking but it also has a garage which is pretty cheap.
