There are reading areas inside and a few tables outside with umbrellas. Multiple computers for public internet. There is a system called Libby which gives access to online books and audio books once you have a card. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There is a small interactive play area in the children's book section. Lots to offer at your local library. Definitely will come back.

This is truly rural Connecticut. The library is a large facility. Clean, quiet, modern. Stacks and stacks of books, quite a few places to sit and read, and several spots with comfortable tables to use as a work space. I'm sincerely impressed. My only complaint is that the parking lot is small. My Sprinter van was challenged. I don't know how people with big vehicles would do here, especially in the winter.

I have been making appointments to use the maker space to make items that will be sold by my Garden Club. I have also made lawn signs that have information regarding a garden we maintain in our town. I have also designed artwork to sublimate on shirts for a girls trip. The prices for using supplies are very reasonable and you can also bring your own items to use. This is a great space offered by the Library and would not be as successful if the staff person was not as knowledgeable as he is.

She went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me to find exactly what I needed and and did it in a cheerful and friendly way.

As a result, I had an excellent experience at Newtown's beautiful library and came away extremely happy. Fantastic job, Shari!

There is a fireplace on the first floor, and a restroom on a little half level going up. Overall a very pretty building.

They even have a program where you can check out e-books and read them on an app if you don't feel comfortable touching public library books just yet. But we find their health precautions to be extremely well thought out. Patrons are now allowed to visit in person, but are limited to 30 minutes. The number of patrons is limited to allow for social distancing. To get in, you ring a doorbell and are greeted by a librarian, often the lovely children's librarian, Cheryl, chatted up, signed in, offered hand sanitizer. Returned books are held in quarantine for a period before being re-shelved and made available to the next patron. What an incredibly resource for the community. What a heroic bunch of folks. I want to give them all my money and if you live in this community, so should you.
