About the Harvard COOP for Kids

In addition to books, you’ll find a table and benches, with crayons and scrap paper on hand – a terrific activity for budding young artists.
(Plus, it is one of the few places in Cambridge that has a dedicated public bathroom specifically for families. Ask for a key to enter. There are changing tables in both the ladies’ and men’s rooms.)
