Description
A century later, the Boston Public Library's book bag still delivers. More than 100 years ago, the workers of the Boston Public Library figured out that the best way to ferry books between their branches was in this deep, heavy-duty, cotton canvas bag—one in each hand, to balance the load. Our re-creation of this living antique is true to the original but even stronger. Imagine how many grocery bags you can carry in one trip rather than ten. And how easily yoga mats and gym gear will transport. Inside the delivery bag is the quotation that's etched on the Boylston Street side of the main library: “The commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty.” We also offer the New York Public Library version of this bag.

Great Fun!

"My daughter lives in Boston, so this felt like a fun gift to give. I didn't remove it from the plastic wrap prior to gift-wrapping it, but the weight of the product made it feel substantial."

Please make this in a half-pint delivery size!

"Please make this bag in a half-pint size! (Full transparency: I don't have this bag, so my five-star rating is because a rating is required. I love this bag but really want it in a half-pint delivery size. )"

— Lori M. (5/5)

"This was a perfect gift for my friend who is a Serious Reader and whose home library system is the BPL. She was very pleased and made a point to say she has already used it to pack for a weekend car trip."
