Boston Public Library

Boston Public Library is a location appearing in Fallout 4.

Layout
The library is O-shaped with an open patio in the center. The whole place is inhabited by protectrons and MKI turrets. It is also filled with super mutants of varying strengths depending on level. A booby trap with a grenade bouquet can be found inside near the entrance connected to the library from Copley Station.

Depending on which entrance the Sole Survivor will enters from, a super mutant raiding party would attack the area opposite of where they enter (back door or through the subway and vice versa). This will spawn the super mutants to attack who would then begin to attack the robots that protect the area. The super mutants will spawn in several waves before they are all dead.

Notable loot

 * Intelligence bobblehead - In the mechanical room (northwestern side of building, 2nd floor, room has a closed but unlocked door on approach). On the large computer.
 * Stealth Boy and bottlecap mine - In the supply room off the northern room that contains the Intelligence bobblehead behind a master locked door.
 * The key can be found in the previous room in the northeast corner next to a terminal.
 * Massachusetts Surgical Journal issue #8 (+2% damage dealt to limbs) - Obtained as a prize from the book return terminal in the southwest corner. Requires 50 book return tokens, equivalent to 10 overdue books. It's on the 2nd floor beside the entrance from Back Bay. The other return machine doesn't have surgical journal reward.
 * Six overdue books:
 * Three in the mechanical room (the one where the bobblehead is), they're on the left side of the room upon entering near the two sleeping bags and army ammo container.
 * One in the women's restroom in a stall
 * One in the main reading room on a shelf by the terminal (turn to 4 o'clock while facing it)
 * Enter the building through West entrance, down the hall, 1st hole to the left go forward, to next room, on first desk
 * Vault-Tec lunchbox on a table in the southwest room, near the overdue book machine (look right/east when facing the machine). Another lunchbox can be found in the underground station, in a baby carriage. One may wish to overturn the baby carriage as when the lunchbox is opened the prize may fall through the ground. Another lunchbox maybe found on the floor of the cafeteria to the left of the main entrance.
 * Three overdue books - In a Pulowski Preservation shelter to the south east of the buildings exterior.

Bugs

 * You can get stuck inside the room in the bottom level after coming down the ramp. (The room connected to the open patio area) There's a room with junk piled in the door. You may enter it through the right hand side of the doorway. But can never leave without previous save reload.
 * Your game can get stuck while receiving the Surgical Journal. The book terminal will become unable to exit and you will have the Item Obtained overlay stuck on your screen indefinitely.
 * Possible fix: Press the Enter key instead of the activate key
