While several of these libraries have now opened up, at least partially, their histories are still fascinating, and learning about them has that special spark of uncovering a secret.
Boston Librarians Hold Rally After Workers Harassed By Anti-Mask Protesters

Librarians in Boston united in solidarity on Saturday, holding a rally to push back after several incidents that they say have disrupted staff and library patrons.
Staff and supporters gathered in front of the main branch in Copley Square in a sign of unity and kindness.
“This is a safe space. It should be a safe space no matter what we face with the mandates in the pandemic,” said librarian Jessica Elias.
