The JFK Presidential Library is one of the most impressive, inspiring museums I've visited. JFK led…read morean extraordinary life, and the library does a remarkable job showing why he remains such a compelling and influential figure. Walking through the exhibits, you really feel the weight of an era when the presidency carried a different kind of dignity and aspiration. The way Kennedy spoke, what he stood for, and the sense of public service he embodied stand in stark contrast to the tone of modern politics. Visiting the library made me appreciate that difference even more. Trump has made the United States a laughing stock. I wish we could just erase Trump from existence. The museum itself is beautifully designed, bright, and right on the water -- an amazing setting. The core exhibits are informative, moving, and very well curated. I especially loved the special exhibit on presidential pets, which added a fun and charming touch. Overall, the JFK Library is fascinating, inspiring, and absolutely worth the trip. Highly recommended.

Great museum both for its content and its architecture. I went after there was some reconstruction,…read moreso it was free entry, but it's definitely worth it to come for the entry fee. There is a fairly large parking lot, and it's right on the water which is scenic. It's a very thorough exhibit from a movie talking about JFK's early life, then the exhibits from his marriage, the election, life in the White House, the Cuban missile crisis, and then his unfortunate assassination and the aftermath. The information was well laid out and displayed, so it took a couple of hours to get through and leave in a pensive mood. Well, until I went to the Presidential Pets exhibit which lightened the mood. Well played! There are also a decent gift shop and a cafe on site. It was a great presentation and well worth visiting.

Modern libraries are much more than just stacks of books staffed by quiet nerds, shushing you if you speak above a whisper. Need to print some pages? Hit the library. Want to read a new book? Check what they have in stock, or request an interlibrary loan. Maybe you prefer audiobooks or reading in your Kindle. Yup, libraries have that covered too. Want to rent a DVD, or stream a movie? Can you believe it? Librarians got your back yet again. Your local library is probably one of the most useful, and underutilized resources in your neighborhood. It offers the fastest internet around with computer stations, or simply just wifi. This library sits close to Grove Hall, so you can easily go in any direction for your coffee or snacking needs, and settle back into a cozy chair to finally finish that book on your list.

This one-story library was much bigger than I anticipated (in comparison to the Upham's Corner…read morelibrary and the Field's Corner library, this is much bigger) so this was a lovely surprise. Since this was my first time here, I am not sure if they recently went through renovations or not, but it sure looks like it. The library has high ceilings, couches towards the middle of the floor, and the tables next to the windows that make it a bright spot to work at. What I also liked was the courtyard section (make sure you don't bring food inside since you won't be able to eat it in the courtyard & FYI it was locked so you will need to ask for the doors to be opened). There are a lot of tables and seats so if you feel like reading outside this might be a good idea once it's officially spring weather. It might not be ideal if you're trying to work on a laptop since the tables are made out of wood and the wood does not have super smooth finish.

The librarians are wonderful, smart and resourceful. I never go downtown for anything or even to another branch when I order online and pick up there. When my children were younger we spent hours on the rug in the childrens section enjoying the best children's books before they could talk. I spent hours there writing my dissertation and still appreciate the encouragement and support I got from the staff. Special programs in the big add even more to this branch which is almost as a community center as a library for the Lower Mills and surrounding community. When we had to fight to keep it open, the neighborhood and local merchants were fighting for an invaluable and treasured community resource. We love the Boston Public Library Lower Mills Branch!
