If you would like a photograph of a Branch library, current displays and exhibitions, or any other photograph associated with the CPL, contact the Manager of Communications at mkangsen@cambridgema.gov at least two weeks ahead of time. Photographs shared with the media are subject to copy right restrictions.

Does the CPL provide parking to reporters or media organizations?

The Library does not provide parking to reporters or media organizations. The best place for media trucks to park at the Main Library is on Broadway, and we ask that local reporters/media organizations work with the Cambridge Department of Traffic, Parking and Transportation to park on the street.

Am I allowed to take photographs at a Library event?

Photographing, filming, or recording members of the public, library staff on duty, and public programs is prohibited unless permission has been granted in advance by the Library. The Library does routinely take photographs of our events and programs for our own use. At every library event where photographs are being taken, members of the public are notified through signs posted at the entrance to the event space.
