The Waban Library Center is a library located in a historic building at 1608 Beacon Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The building is a modest 1½ story Tudor Revival brick building, with a gabled slate roof and raised end walls. A cross-gabled entry area projects from the center of the front facade. It was designed by Densmore, LeClear & Robbins, and built in 1929 with funds raised by subscription from Newton's citizens.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
Originally the Branch library of Newton Free Library was located here. In early 2009, it closed due to budgetary constraints, but re-opened in September 2009 as the Waban Library Center, a community-supported facility.
The Waban Library Center, independent from the Newton Free Library, is completely staffed by volunteers and supported by the community. Building upon its history as a village reading room, the Waban Library Center presents itself as a gateway for lifelong learning and as a hub for intellectual, cultural, social and physical enrichment. It operates on a non-profit financial model.
