It's the kind of place to discover great literature to read in one of the many hidden spots. A great place to disappear. Little known is the fantastic dvd movie collection. When Netflix cut me off of "The Tudors" after the 2nd season, we were able to find the rest of the seasons at the East Hampton Library. Just when you think you can't locate that hard-to-find book you have to read, you will find it here - it's weird how it always happens. In the summers they host their Author's Night, which is where authors, big and small, sign their books for the crowd (usually tickets are around $100). Celebs I've met there include Barbara Walters, Alec Baldwin, Candace Bushnell, Jay MacInerny and many more. BookHampton's selection is microscopic compared to the rows and rows of fantastic book collections of every genre. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

On a bit of a roadtrip down the Connecticut coast, we arrived in New Haven a little after 3pm, and…read moreI knew I had only had a little time before things/attractions closed at 5pm. So after hitting the Yale Center for British Art, we speed walked (sped walked?) over to the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Why? Google it and you'll understand when you see the pictures. Beinicke is Yale's rare book and manuscript library - not their main university library or their law library. The reading room is open to registered researchers only, but the public are welcome to visit the library's exhibition hall. And everyone visiting New Haven should! The library was built in 1963, and the the architecture is incredible. The building is a granite veneer shell, fastened to a structural steel frame. Inside that structure is a glass-enclosed tower of book cases. The granite was milled to 1.25 inches thick to allow filtered daylight in - in the afternoon/early evening, the marble turned an amber color. We walked back past it at night for a different view of the building. It is really incredible architecture, and the library hosts exhibits you can see in the exhibition hall when you visit to enjoy the building (when we visited, the exhibit was "Taught By the Pen: The World of Islamic Manuscripts"). The building is incredible and definitely worth a visit if you're exploring the Yale campus!

A beautiful building in…read more a beautiful borough The Stonington Free Library is located in a lovely building that was built way back in 1900. This was in the time before most towns were broke and when they still had money to spend on making libraries more than just warehouses to store books. The building would be a cool place to visit even if it didn't have any books at all. The site selected was where the famous Wadawanuck Hotel stood a few years before. This was when Stonington was still a hopping transportation center with a multitude of steam ships and trains stopping here between Boston and New York. Before things changed and Stonington became a the quiet little borough it presently is. The library is relatively small by the standards of larger towns but has been expanded several times over the decades but still managed to keep it's charm and unique character. It was built to be more than just a place to store books and that idea has never changed throughout the years. Sure the library has books, a whole bunch of books. plus the usual periodicals, computers, videos, Cd's and other mundane library stuff. The library also has a nice children's department and has various lectures, events and demonstrations. Of course the friendly and smiling small town librarians are present to assist and eager to help with any question or difficulty. But the magic of this library isn't in the books but the wonderful building located in a wonderful and historical town literally surrounded by water. A great place to read, do research or just walk around, look, smell the ocean, and wonder what this town was like a hundred years ago when the library was built.

The Island Free Library is remarkable. It is a beautiful little library with more resources than…read moreone would expect in a town of fewer than a thousand residents. The Island Free Library has been rated a "Five Star" library for the last five years running; quite an accomplishment. Visitors with a Rhode Island library card may check out materials. Visitors from out of state may purchase a one year library card that may be used to check out up to five items at a time. The Island Free Library has the best internet service on the island. This is saying a LOT on an island that is known for its poor internet service! They offer programs for children all year round and even more of them in the summer. Each summer the library has a "big read". This year (2014) the Big Read is The Grapes of Wrath. They have a great selection of books of all types, movies, music and audio books. The librarians are the most wonderful group of women on the island. Somehow they remain cheerful and helpful in the most grueling circumstances!

This library can request books from within the seconn system (southeast Connecticut) interlibrary and they will notify you when you can come pick up your holds. A wonderful place to occupy the kids on a rainy day or even come read some books for summer. The hours are good and the staff is always helpful.
