A section of Oak Hill Park village of the City of Newton, Massachusetts was developed rapidly after World War II to provide individual homes for returning veterans. The Oak Hill Park Branch of the Newton Free Library had first moved into a wing of Memorial School in Oak Hill Park in 1937. On February 10, 1955 a new branch was set up in Oak Hill Shopping Center, build by V. Ciulla. When stores closed in 1974 the branch relocated to an empty classroom of Memorial School, which was later bought by Solomon Schechter School. The branch stayed open there till 1991, when the City's new Main Library was opened at 330 Homer Street. At that time the Newton Centre, Oak Hill Park, West Newton, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Newton Highlands, and Newton Lower Falls branches were closed.
