The Gazette has written an interesting piece regarding the Boston Public Library’s decision to shutter four branch libraries. The article points out that while all three of Jamaica Plain’s branch libraries made the cut, two of them were on the BPL’s original hit list presented earlier in the year. You can read the entire story and the Gazette’s excellent coverage on the library controversy at the paper’s website.
