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.

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!

I'm continually floored by just how excellent this little library is. It has every amenity you…read morecould imagine finding at a big city library and maybe more; the kindest, most dedicated librarians, ever; and wonderful (virtual) programming even during COVID-19 times. 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.
