Boston Public Library
The Boston Public Library is an abandoned pre-war landmark occupied by a fierce battle between Super Mutants and automated defense systems. Players can explore the reading rooms and archives while helping or avoiding the Protectrons and Turrets holding off the mutant invaders. The location features a unique book return terminal where overdue books found across the Commonwealth can be redeemed for various prizes.

Enemies
Found fighting the library's automated defense forces on the main floor and upper balconies
Patrols alongside Super Mutants and can alert others quickly with its bark
Allied to the library by default; will remain neutral to the player unless provoked or reprogrammed
Positioned throughout hallways to deter mutant incursions
Shops and people
- Book Return Terminal: Exchanges Overdue Books for tokens to buy magazines, a Stealth Boy, Fusion Cores, and various crafting materials
Tips
- Do not damage the Protectrons or wall turrets initially, as they will draw fire from the Super Mutants and make clearing the interior much easier.
- Collect every Overdue Book you find throughout the Commonwealth before visiting, as you can turn them all into the terminal here for instant prize tokens.
- Hacking the library curator terminal allows you to access facility intercoms and maintain control over the defense turrets.
