Not to be dramatic, but your art could end up on our next library card 🤭

The BPL is inviting artists of all ages to take part in a Library Card Design contest in celebration of Library Card Sign-Up Month this September!

🎨 How does it work?
One adult (18+), one teen (13-17), and one youth (0-12) winner will have their original artwork featured on official BPL cards in circulation during 2026-2027.

👥 Who can enter?
The contest is open to all BPL cardholders, with one entry permitted per person.

🖌️ What do you submit?
An original design that reflects what the library means to you and your community — perhaps an interpretation of our motto “Free to All”?

The contest will run from May 15 through June 15, 2026. Good luck!

BPL’s newest exhibition “Declarations: Printing a New Nation” is here! Let’s take a look inside...

📜For the first time ever, the BPL’s eight rare printings of the Declaration are displayed together, inviting visitors to step into a moment when American independence, and the nation itself, was still taking shape.

📍The exhibition is free to all and is located at the Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Central Library, @bplmaps.

The exhibition is made possible by the Irene Haney Creative Enrichment Fund through the Boston Public Library Fund, @bplfund.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
