Upcoming Events

Boston is having a public meeting at 6pm on 3/10 to allow for public comment on the city's budget. We're meeting outside of Boston City Hall in the Government Center Plaza at 5:45pm. Residents of Boston are particularly encouraged to come give public comment but all are welcome to join and provide support! We'll congregate afterwards for food and drink. We're asking all commenters to ask that the budget address the two issues below (but feel free to make it your own and speak to your own experiences!):

1. Open new public restrooms in high-traffic areas, particularly near T stations, to ensure as many Boston residents and visitors as possible have access to this critical public infrastructure.

2. Improve the experience of using existing public restrooms by extending hours, increasing maintenance frequency, implementing accessibility upgrades, and updating public-facing information to bring us as close as possible to free, 24/7, clean, universally accessible public restrooms.

Are you a new member looking to get to know the chapter? An old member looking to stay engaged? Anyone at all looking for a relaxing night?

Join us for an evening of crafty coworking and comradely conversation!

We’ll be meeting at the BPL Central Square in Mezzanine Study Room Two from 6 pm to 8 pm on Wednesday March 11^th. Bring your knitting, felting, drawing or other craft project (per library rules no spillable materials such as paint or glue) to work on. Don’t have a portable craft at the moment? Bring socks or other knits with holes and we’ll provide materials and instructions for darning them!

Come and talk about organizing projects or just enjoy working on that craft you’ve been putting off.
