The Spot Open House at the Library

We understand the importance of community and the power of compassion. As a 100% volunteer-run program, we are committed to supporting vulnerable individuals and families in Cambridge, MA.

We have over 200 collections and nearly 2,700 books, spanning the 17th - 21st Centuries, featuring the political and social history of Cambridge.

We provide summer reading book recommendations; activities for children, teens, and adults; live events; as well as prizes and giveaways throughout July and August.

Our team of social workers can help make referrals to community services, help you complete applications, navigate resources, and help connect you to mental health or substance misuse programs.

This is our state-of-the-art makerspace at the Main Library. It is a hub for learning, creativity, and collaboration filled with beginner to professional-level workshops and equipment
