There's a parking lot on the lower level which can be packed or on the upper street level which is shared with a local church across the street especially on the weekends.
Good longer hours from Sept-May but hours are cut shorter during the summer months.
Decent sized library near center of town.
Library is part of Minuteman Network so you can borrow stuff from other towns libraries but it'll take awhile to arrive.
Often hard to find a quiet table to study, most of them are occupied or in a noisy area. The library hours are not very convenient, only open at 1pm on Sundays & closed for entire weekend on holidays, which is frustrating, and the staff is just plain miserable...feels like most of the time they're just doing you a favor by even acknowledging your presence. As for the materials, I am regularly surprised at how such a big town can have a library with such a poor and outdated selection. If they even have the book I want (kids, adult, reference, whatever), it's hardly ever available. Overall, I prefer to go to neighboring town libraries to get what I want.
Amazing place and excellent librarians esp at the kids section.
Service by staff is good but mixed at times as there's sometimes not enough staffers.
NO good manners by people who talk inside especially those using cell phones
The library has NOT enforced the QUIET treatment as many child students talk too much in the library as well as some adults!!
Love this place! So big and warm and great light. Friendly staff.
It was updated years ago but still feel dated.
I've used this library in so many different ways over the years. The study rooms served as home-base when I was consulting. The children's room was key on rainy days when my kids were young. Now they use that room to study and read on their own. The books on tape collection saved my sanity when I was commuting and the librarians have always been incredibly supportive and interested in me and my family. Thank you!
Lots of study desks on second floor but it can get crowded by students or people.
