The Casa da Saudade Branch is located in the south end of the city in the Sister Aurora Avelar Community Center. Originally funded by a federal grant, it opened in 1971 in a small store front on Rivet St with a collection of 3,000. In 1975, it moved to its present location. The collection is in English, Portuguese, and Crioulo.
Patrons also have access to the Internet.
O ngoing programs are held to commemorate significant events such as the Day of Portugal, the Cape Verdean Independence Day, and book releases by Portuguese authors or about Portguese speaking people.
