The Dudley Branch Library, now the Roxbury Branch Library, serves the people living in the Roxbury neighborhood in Suffolk County. The library is a member of the Boston Public Library, which houses over 8.9 million volumes and circulates about 3.6 million items annually, including collections in the Spanish Language and African-American resources. The branch opened its doors in 1978, providing traditional library services, after-hours book returns, computers, scanning, printing, and storytime events, among other activities.
