We would like to share with our community that we will temporarily focus operations on online delivery and sales on our outdoor plaza. Click here to begin browsing vendors’ items online and stock up through delivery. Several vendors will also pop up in our Outdoor Market on our plaza (check our social media for updates).
 In light of Governor Baker’s Order, our doors will be closed through May 4th, but we’ll continue to be a community resource for fresh, local food. Click here for more info.
Thank you for your continued support of BPM and our small business vendors!

Hello Everyone!

The world continues, in the new way that it does.   People are still working to help the rest of us get through this. And the rest of us should do our part to help them get through too, by staying home.

Looking to the what is good and what is  ahead...

People are changing their manufacturing to help the world make what it needs, people are finding new ways to share their talents, and the people at home continue to show their support for the world.  Make something in your window to show your support that we will get through this.  Rainbows and hearts have become the images of hope around the country.  Some have gotten really creative with their designs.  Check out the group Heart Hunters on Facebook and see what people have created!

Today is also One Boston Day.


Join in a moment of silence at 2:49pm to honor those affected. The marathon was 7 years ago, but Boston will never forget.  We remain Boston Strong.

Stay Positive! 
Be kind, Be safe, and we'll get through this!

it was true then, and it is still true!


While the West End Branch Library is closed, we ask that you don’t leave any returns or donations outside as no one is there to deal with them.  All fines will be waived so please keep all returns until we reopen.  
 
The BPL has a robust online presence at www.bpl.org. Some of our providers have increased access from home (https://www.bpl.org/online-resources/).  Check out Ancestry Library edition.
 
If you have any questions or concerns or just want to talk  the staff can be reached at westend@bpl.org.   Helen F. Bender, Branch Librarian can be reached directly at hbender@bpl.org.

The NE/WE NSC remains closed at present, so I am sharing again the listing of all ABCD open sites (click on the photo below to see more clearly). In the meantime, we continue to conduct wellness checks and referrals for our clientele. We have been in touch with our donors, community partners, and other stakeholders, and remain grateful for their support and collaboration.

ABCD’s website
bostonabcd.org also has updated information regarding services during this time.
Many of our neighborhood restaurants are still open for take out!

If you are able, consider take out, delivery or even buying a gift certificate to use at a later date!  Pick one of your favorites that you are sure to use, or pick one you haven't been to, so you can make sure you will visit!

Get the apps for food delivery services or just order online:
DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, ChowNow, Postmates, and Caviar.  You can also just give the restaurants a call!
