Branch Librarian Jane Bickford has opened this carefully landscaped area to the Branch Library’s patrons. Whether you prefer sun or shade, start your reading in the out-of-doors. Picture yourself catching up on the news, as a breeze rustles the pages of the newspapers the Branch Library provides its patrons. While you are reading, you’ll be sitting on approximately a half-acre of private open space surrounded by a tall brick wall that encircles and closes off this space.

f you are a patron of South Boston’s Branch Library, you probably noticed that the area in back of the Branch has greened up. The ornamental tree out there has burst into bloom; all the trees are approaching full leaf; white birch bark nowAnd watch for the following announcement: On one of the Saturdays later in June (perhaps the 24th?), Jane has arranged a concert that’ll take place out back. She tells us it will combine Irish folk music with bluegrass – shades of Bill Monroe and Beaverdam, Kentucky.

FUTURE YOU IS SO PROUD OF YOU.
