The Mechanics' Institute is a historic member-supported library and chess club on Post Street in the Financial District, and its calendar is open to the public for many evenings. It hosts author conversations, small concerts in the library space, classic-film nights with a curator and a daytime talk series. Programs are intimate, usually in the library or the event rooms upstairs.
