Hours of Operation

The Library is generally open to members, and members of the public wishing to use our collection of insurance materials for personal research, as follows:

Monday—Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The Library is closed on most federal and state holidays. When the Boston Public Schools are closed due to weather, the staff will likely work remotely.

There are rare days when no staff will be at the Library for part or all of a day. Therefore, we suggest you call our main number, 617-227-2087, ahead of your visit to be sure someone will be here.

If you are a member (or employee of a member organization) and you wish to use our conference room for a meeting or a place to work between meetings elsewhere, please call us one or two business days ahead to see if our conference room is available.

The Library will be closed December 23 through December 27 for staff vacation and the Christmas holiday. We reopen on Monday, December 30. Research services, however, will not be available until Monday, January 6.
