Delays due to supply chain challenges are expected; the estimated time frame is another 6-8 months during which the Library will remain closed. Please don’t leave book donations at the door; borrowed books can be returned to the Central Library (or any other branch).

Berklee College of Music Virtual Task Force Meeting
The BPDA is hosting a Task Force Meeting for the proposed Institutional MAster Plan for Berklee College of Music, located in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the overall Institutional Master Plan and the potential impacts. The meeting will include a presentation followed by questions and comments from the Task Force and the public. Please note that the purpose of this meeting is different from that of a traditional community meeting. As part of the development review process, Task Force members work closely with BPDA staff to identify the impacts of a project and recommend appropriate community benefits to offset those impacts. Task Force meetings prioritize discussion between the project proponent (i.e. the developer) and Task Force members. Please register for the meeting using the following Zoom link: bit.ly/3IGK5S1.
