An Act honoring Mary McGrory
This bill (SD 1135) renames the Roslindale Branch of the Boston Public Library as the "McGrory-Roslindale Branch" to honor Mary McGrory, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Roslindale resident. It directly affects the library's official designation and the community using its services. The bill amends Chapter 78 of the General Laws by adding the new name to the library's legal description. This is a ceremonial renaming with no policy or funding changes.
