Churches town halls…read moreand libraries The Upton Library is indeed an impressive building. Huge, bulky and very imposing. It looks far more like a church than a library but that isn't exactly surprising since it was originally built as a church way back around 1870. I'm not sure why but for some reason the town hall moved in the building in 1884 and the other parts of the large building were used for various other things throughout the years. Finally in 1972 the town decided the building would be a good place for a library and all the books and other library stuff were moved in. The second floor houses a fine local museum and storage spaces. The library is a fun place to walk around both on the outside and in. Definitely a very cool building with lots of cool stuff inside. Lots of nice places to relax and read or do some serious work. The library also has all kinds of programs including, music, art and crafts and tons of children's activities. Plenty of room to do pretty much whatever you want. The museum part upstairs was closed when we went but the very kind, funny and spunky librarian got the key and let up go up there for a quick look. We didn't linger because we didn't want to become to intrusive. A very, cool library with a very, very cool librarian. This is the classic New England library that has history, charm, ambiance and one very cool librarian working there. A place worth visiting even if it didn't have any books.

I'm challenging myself to visit all public libraries in the state of Rhode Island this year. This…read morelibrary was the third one I visited. Although I live very close to this library, I always went to the Pawtucket Public Library, so I never got a chance until now to go in. I loved the ceiling in the checkout area when you first walk in. There are a couple tables and more comfortable seats to do homework, read books, or hang out. One thing I was impressed by was the printing costs. The first 10 pages for black and white are free, and the first five in color are free. Thereafter, its $0.15 and $0.25 respectively which is not bad. I am used to paying a little more at the Pawtucket Library starting with page one. The back part of the library could use a little more lighting but on sunny days, there is enough clarity to get by. They do have some activities for kids and a little section dedicated to them. There is a parking lot, enough for about 10 cars and I liked the art on the wooden fence in the parking lot.

It's especially sad when the city cannot afford to keep the library open. I went here as a kid. The children's librarian was Priscilla, who I adored. Priscilla was sweet and patient and helpful. The building itself, also known as the Adams Memorial Library, is lovely. Unfortunately, the books inside are old and outdated. At best, the library was a place for school kids to get their hands on the internet and maybe do a little research. The closing of both the library and the rec center hit a lot of residents hard. Go ahead, laugh all you want. I can no longer defend this nearly-bankrupt city.

Everyone is friendly and helpful but they do NOT accept cards for payment (in my case, a late fee). Had to log onto the computer to pay it off which was faulty, and had to try three different computers before I could check out a new book. They have some cute kids activities to choose from, as do the other libraries in RI. We went to a couple story time sessions with the kids which they enjoyed. There is a park across the street from them now which I have not yet checked out, and also another small park up the road. Usually we make a park/library trip at the same time. I like the toys and activities at the Slatersville location better, but this library does have the largest kids area out of all I've been to.

Wild women and…read morebooks The first Pascoag library was founded way back in 1871 by a bunch of wild women calling themselves the Pascoag Union Sewing Society. These tempestuous ladies got together 163 books, appointed a librarian, took over some space in a local store and started a library. The library moved around quite a bit during it's early days but finally through numerous fund raisers and private donations the present building was constructed in 1924. The library is still privately owned and operated by the Ladies Pascoag Library Association and governed by the Board of Trustees which is still composed of just women. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is how small the library is. At the best of times they do manage to squeeze in over 15,000 volumes, some videos, DVD's. periodicals and a couple of computers but it's a tight fit. The library also has various children and adult programs and of course the pert and perky librarians working here are wonderful, pleasant and knowledgeable beyond belief. Even though Pascoag Library is an itty, bitty place, it's about to grow up. The diminutive building is presently under construction and the new room being added to the back will double it's size when completed. Sure everything is a mess right now, with loud banging and sawing, stuff moving around and dust flying everywhere but it's a small price to pay for the additional room. The Pascoag Library still won't exactly be a huge place but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in friendliness and coolness. Those wild and spunky ladies that started it way back in 1871 would be pleased.

Like most libraries of this period it is a grand building that has attention to detail and aesthetics not found in the newer libraries. To my eye it has the look of a castle, church or fortress of some sort and certainly looks like it could last a few more centuries without any difficulty. Huge and looming, it dominants the area. The inside is as impressive as the exterior with a wonderful wooden door than does indeed look like it belongs on a castle and great windows, sky lights and a grand staircase. Throw in a couple of fireplaces and a bunch of old furniture and antiques and you have library that is as much museum as a place for books. The library offers a wide range of activities and classes such as quilting, mosaic window making, resume writing and numerous other interesting stuff. It a also has a great local history and genealogy room on the third floor and a great children's department. A great place to visit for anyone interested in unique architecture or or the late 19th century. It's fun to slowly walk around the exterior and then go inside and just look and feel the history and ambiance of the grand, old building. A very cool and imposing structure that just happens to be a library.
