Revamped Brighton library to open next month

The Boston Public Library's Brighton branch is scheduled to re-open on Dec. 11, almost two years after a $5-million renovation began.

The BPL says the new library features new windows and furniture, "a new teen space with café-style seating facing the landscaped yard on Academy Hill Road," a new community room and 20 new computers. The building is now also handicap accessible and has a variety of energy-saving features.

There will be a formal dedication at 11 a.m. on Dec. 11.
