Boston Public Library - A Brief History and Description
click on photo for full history
Founded in 1848, by an act of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts, the Boston Public Library (BPL) was the first
large free municipal library in the United States.
The Boston Public Library's first building of its own was a
former schoolhouse located on Mason Street that was opened
to the public on March 20, 1854. The library's collections approximated 16,000 volumes, and it was obvious from the
day the doors were first opened that the quarters were inadequate.
In December of that same year the library's Commissioners were authorized to locate a new building upon a lot on Boylston Street. The present Copley Square location has been home to the library since 1895, when architect Charles Follen McKim completed his "palace for the people."

About the Kirstein Business Library - Louis Kirstein
The Kirstein Business Branch opened on May 7, 1930. Funding for the founding of the branch was donated by Louis Kirstein, a Vice President of Filene’s Dept. Store and Trustee of the Boston Public Library. The Branch was formally named the Edward Kirstein Memorial Library in honor of Louis’ father.
Kirstein was the first public business library in the U.S.to be built as a gift of a businessman and the second library in the country to be built specifically as a public business library. At the time, libraries in about 70 cities in the United States were providing business reference services but only about a dozen had separate business branches. Since 1930, Kirstein has stayed at the forefront of library service for business-related materials.
The Kirstein Business Library offers career and job hunting information, entrepreneurial resources, assistance to investors, and maintains a variety of business directories and industry statistics. Within the Kirstein Business Library, the Thomas R. Drey, Jr. Investment Center – named after a generous retired teacher who researched investing at Kirstein – offers up-to-date materials for those seeking information on how to invest wisely.
