Yes. There is a Boston Public Library (BPL) branch nearby, and the Newton Free Library, which is part of the Minuteman Library Network. Both are about 5-10 minutes away by car, or about 30-40 minutes on foot.
The closest public library branch is the Brighton branch of the BPL:

The next closest public library is the Newton Free Library. The BC shuttle could get you closer, if they're willing to drop you at Comm. Ave. and Centre St.:
