Social Services Support at the Cambridge Public Library

The Cambridge Public Library is dedicated to a Cambridge where everyone has equitable opportunities to access resources and support. The Library Social Work Team is available to meet with you on Zoom, by phone or in-person appointments at any of our 7 library locations. Our licensed Social Worker can assist with:

  • Referrals to area agencies
  • Completing applications
  • Resource navigation
  • Mental health/substance misuse linkage and referral

Connect with the Library Social Worker

When you’re overwhelmed, it can be hard to know where to start. Sign up to connect with a member of the Library Social Work team to get ideas of next steps and find out what resources and support are available to you in the community.
