They have a good selection of books for it being a smaller library. I especially appreciated how they had certain books standing out front and center so you could readily pick them up. Both of my book selections were like this, and they were really great reads. If there's a book you're looking for and they don't have it, ask and they'll order it for you. Cozy, comfortable, quiet, and inviting, everything you want in a library.

I was reading up on how it was built in 1912 in the Italian renaissance style, not that dissimilar to the Greco-Roman style with its ivory pillars. It's so beautiful, it felt like I was in a museum rather than a library. As I walked through the passageways, I wondered who had walked here back in those days? Men? Women? Were women even allowed inside places of learning back then? Once again, I dragged my brother along for use of his library card as I am only visiting during my mother's surgical recovery and checked out a few books. They do have a vast selection compared to other libraries I have seen. Including DVD's, music, even video games!!! Never thought I'd see that in a library. My library back home gives no such visual inspirations and has media but it's limited to just DVD's and music so I was very impressed with what I saw here. I asked about a particular author whose works I wanted to check out and while it wasn't at that location, I was told that it could be delivered, so great service there. If I lived here, I'd probably frequent this library all the time. The building being so extraordinary is just icing on the cake.

I was here for about three hours today, quietly ensconced at a study carrel on the second floor where I was able to spread out two laptops and my phone. I made (quiet) Zoom calls, sent emails and wrote Yelp reviews. I was not disturbed and in my time, I didn't see many other patrons. Y'all are missing out! Study desks and free computers, books, magazines, music, movies, reference materials and a free wifi. What more do you need? [Review 18422 overall - 1142 in Massachusetts - 1944 of 2022.]

All the…read morelibrary staff are very professional and usually there will be someone on staff knowledgeable about your concerns. The environment is calm and peaceful, with sealed glass group activity rooms for which to carry on without distraction to patrons. The restrooms are male - female separated by 30 feet, well ventilated, paper supplied and clean. The computing stations are powered by up to date Dell Inspiron small computing networked hardware. Wifi is sluggish though rated at gigabit speed, with average password security; however, the hardline backbone network is fast with very little downtime. Printer services are expensive and require mild technical expertise and paper stock is not premium either. Parking is adequate with an allowable overflow into the adjacent strip mall. I enjoy this place.

What a great library!…read more It's a newer building, modern architecture and very flowing. They've got a peaceful adult reading room upstairs and quite a few computers. The location of the library is great too- right in East Longmeadow center. There's a Starbucks right in the plaza Their children's room and programs are WONDERFUL. Miss Jennie and the other librarians are so helpful and creative! They've got tons of holiday programs, the summer reading program, and always are involved in the community. I highly recommend this library!

I know I know if you live in a big city Agawam's library may not impress but this is a little New England town people. Definitely the best library I've ever frequented. Books/Videos/online services: My favorite thing about this library is the fact that they are linked with a ton of other local libraries so even if they don't have your book they can get it from one of the neighboring libraries. They even have great shows you can get on DVD like Sopranos, the Wire, The Walking Dead, etc... not to mention most of the new releases that are available on Redbox. They also give you updates to your email when your books arrive and when they're due. You can also extend your books online. Ok people I realize that all libraries probably due it these days but hey its the 1st time I've ever used these features. Books upon books, right when you walk through the door they have a pretty awesome wooden parquet floor, community room to your right, art adorning the walls by local artists and a section for new arrivals. To the left is a very comprehensive kids section with computers, a children activity room, and a little play area for toddlers. The rest of the library is dedicated to the all of the other books, video's and magazines. They even have backpacks prepacked for book clubs how cool is that. I also love listening to books on tape for long road trips and they have a pretty great selection ( Cracker whaaattt). Staff: Always very helpful with finding a book, resetting your pin for the umpteenth time, and checking out an obscene amount of items. They also have a Keurig machine with K cups galore and if you ask nicely they may even help you make a cup(they even have hot chocolate.) Overall Impression: This place is outstanding especially considering the population of Agawam is ~ 29,000. Check this place out

The folks here at Hubbard Memorial Library are really great!…read moreThey had a giveaway going on where if you listed 10 of your favorite books they'd give you a book from their reserved area for free. My brother was able to take advantage of that being a local. We got to talking with the librarian there and found out a lot of history with regards to the Hubbard building. Also got some insight as to who Mr. Charles Townsend Hubbard was. I was curious seeing as there was a large portrait of him hanging on the 1st floor all dressed up in the early 1900's gentleman's attire. I love how all these libraries in town are so well synchronized with one another. It's a great place to sign up for things. I took a picture of an event happening where a master baker is going to show people (for free) how to make your own bread starter. There's also lots of other things like learning how to knit, crochet, I even saw something about painting. These are things where if you live in the area, you can totally take advantage of. Definitely recommend checking out this library.

Being able to request materials using the cwmars system gives access to a large network of libraries, so building size is not important to me.
