The South End branch has recently completed a major capital improvement project. An elevator has been installed to make the second floor community room accessible to all, the threadbare carpet has been completely replaced, the roof leaks are fixed, new bathrooms and closet areas have been created, and the whole library received a fresh coat of paint in an exciting palette. Homework Assistance Program (HAP) is offered Mondays and Wednesdays at 3:30pm for children in grades 3-8. Preregistration is required.

Finally, do your laundry is fun again(was it ever?!). Walking into the Tremont Laundromat is similar to walking into a spa or place of relaxation. The place is tastefully decorated and there are TV's to keep you occupied. This place has a shirt service (hung $1.70, boxed $1.90), drycleaning (Suit- $8.25, Topcoat-$13.00, Down comforter- $30.00), suede and leather cleaning, a wash-dry-fold service, and of course- self-serve laundry. If you are looking to do your laundry in "style," then this place is great!!

The Children's Art Centre (CAC) was incorporated in 1914 by United South End Settlements, and was the first public fine arts museum designed exclusively for children. Over the years, the CAC has become a neighborhood tradition bringing arts and cultural enrichment to everyone in the community regardless of race, ethnic background or ability to pay. The Children's Art Centre offers a summer art program in July and August for children ages 5-12. As part of this program children are exposed to both visual and performing arts. Some of their weekly activities include painting, sculpting, karate, yoga, hip hop, theatre and many more. Every Friday during the program children go on field trips around the Boston area. The program runs Monday through Friday from 8am-5:30pm. Includes breakfast, lunch, snack, field trips, and specialized enrichment teachers.

The United South End Settlements' South End House hosts three different youth programs: an early childhood program for children ages two months to 5 years; an after school program for children ages five through 13; and a youth enrichment program with art and movement classes offered to the community. It also offers a teen portfolio class, helping teens build their art portfolios for college.
