Burlington Public Library, Burlington, Massachusetts -- (See The Resources for Genealogists)

 


This is a very large library. I've never been to it, nor did I know where it was, even tho I've been in the city many times since the mid-60s when it built the huge Burlington Mall. On May 22, 2022, I visited this library, and believe I was one of two people there at the same time. I thought that was sad.

I was pleased this room was open. The Miles Historical Room has a nice collection of books and films. A lot of certain books are under lock and key.

I've never seen a room just for magazine and newspaper storage. I was quite impressed. I don't usually see a lot of newspapers.
