They give instruction, providing the email address of the library so I can send what I need to be copied from my phone to the library email. It's very convenient and economical too. I don't like the cost of ink in the store nor the mess so I don't have to deal with any of that unpleasantness. I just visit my friendly library folk, pay 20 cents per copy, et voila, call it done. It's an absolute pleasure coming here because the folks that work here seem interested and genuinely want to help and are exemplary in customer service. If all staff at other businesses could conduct themselves in this manner, the world would be a more productive place. I highly recommend this library because of the warmth and competence of all staff members and I'm grateful to all the good folks at the West Haven Library. Happy library patron, Rick Dumas

Built in the 1790's, the Maple View Farm was a working dairy and produce farm. It is also mere steps from the Orange public library. You will often see horses and ponies romping and grazing in the field. The farm currently offers small groups the opportunity to embark on rides with a beautiful large horse drawn wagon. Both the wagon and pony rides can be booked on and off their premises.

Sometimes when you…read moregrow up in a town you don't always appreciate the little things but today with the sun shining bright, the simplest places I see all the time seemed especially beautiful. The town is Orange and growing up everybody always thought oranges were rolling down the roads. However, after all that joking, many of the buildings really looked magnificent and made me realize how incredible this town truly is. The town was incorporated in 1822 and was actually named after William III of England, who was Prince of Orange from birth. Whether you are exploring the Orange public library, or the old farm houses and rolling farmland, the new art exhibition at the Town hall or the old Congregational Church proudly standing next to the town center green, everywhere there is a breathtaking sense of peace and tranquility. It is definitely worth a drive through from anywhere.

It's quiet and has a lot of amenities for students and staff that are located on (or have work to do) at the west campus. The genome center is fantastic & the staff do a great job. There is even a little nature trail hat you can walk between buildings or have a little zen time to break up your day. It doesn't really have the same feel as the main campus, but a great place to get some serious work done.

If you're not familiar, the little free libraries, are little cabinets that resemble little houses, inside you'll find books. You're encouraged to take a book and also leave book, for someone else to find. You might find kid's books, cook books, college textbooks, whatever someone might be willing to part ways with. Well the other day, I was at the Connecticut Post Mall, in Milford. When I came across the Little Free Library. This is a physical location, just like the tiny ones, where you can take a book and leave one. There is no one working here. They have a rug, some comfy chairs, and adorable art work on the walls. This is all targeted towards little kids. I was here with my friend. She found a book for her son and I found one for my class. We didn't take any of the books because we felt guilty that we didn't have any to leave behind. The little free library's mission is to have books accessible to everyone, everywhere! This is such a wonderful way to encourage readers everywhere to keep reading!
