Map Image Overworld Image

After talking to Daisy and starting the quest, she will give you an Overdue Book that needs to be returned to Boston Public Library.

You can go to the Boston Public Library through Copley Station.

Use the Intercom

Use the intercom and persuade the voice that you are an employee by attempting to guess your ID Number. Although this might need your Charisma to be at a certain level. If you have Grape Mentats, you can consume that beforehand, as it provides a temporary +5 increase in Charisma for 8 minutes.

If you attempt to lockpick the door to the Library, the robots inside will be hostile towards you.
