A new public library and affordable housing are part of a new development targeted for Boston's Chinatown neighborhood. The new branch of the Boston Public Library, located at 55 Hudson St., will be the city's first permanent public library branch in Chinatown in more than 60 years. Affordable rental and subsidized condominium units will occupy the rest of the building, according to a Boston Globe report. As the Globe noted, the former Chinatown library, located on Tyler Street, a block from the new development project, was demolished during the 1950s to make room for the old Central Artery. Boston opened a temporary library branch for the neighborhood at the China Trade Center on Boylston Street in 2018.
