John Adams Library

The Boston Public Library's Special Collections are free and open to all. If you'd like to visit Special Collections to see items from the John Adams Library, we invite you to schedule an appointment in our reading room so staff have time to prepare materials in advance of your visit.

You can find information about scheduling an appointment in our reading room on our website.

If you have any questions about the collections or how to make an appointment, please feel free to reach out to Special Collections; one of our staff members would be delighted to provide additional assistance.
