    Time to do some work…read more.. The building itself on the outside is nice,limited parking area in the back. Free internet, but it is kinda slow...still free.Not really used to it, since my house has fast internet. So much books, magazines, references, CDs, and DVDs. There are more items here than work space. I stayed at a table,and I could clearly hear the people in front of me, next to me, and behind me. Not much room from people who are close by. The librarians here are really nice though. I like them. One of the older ladies here have a cute little laugh,and I get all warm inside when she does. I picture her handing me some warm fresh baked cookies and a glass of milk while I'm working.

    Friendly librarians and a warm and cozy atmosphere to facilitate research and learning, this…read morelibrary has all the features of a large library (like Boston Public) nestled in a small town like Rockland. The library is part of the Old Colony Library Network, which isn't the greatest, but their interlibrary loan system works well and you can get the books you want without having to worry about shipping and handling. Why buy best sellers that you will only read once? Why buy travel guides for a trip you'll only take once? Instead, you can get them through the library. And you can place books on hold AND "order" books through interlibrary loan all online. Just have your library card handy! With limited funding and budgets slashed left and right, it's hard for local libraries to provide the full services like larger libraries can. However, the Rockland library not only provides public use computers for patrons, a children's reading room, work by local artists, a knitting club, a gardening club, and online research databases ... the staff is pleasant and always willing to help. The parking here can be a little troublesome (I like to get in touch with my hipster side and walk to the library from home with my sack-o-books over my shoulder), but there is ample parking alongside the side streets. Don't like that the library isn't opening on weekends? Write to your local councilman (or councilwoman) to voice your concerns. Start a petition and fight the power!

    I really love this library. When we moved to Norwell a few years ago, the renovation was in process…read moreand so we frequently visited the temporary Hanover location. It was always clean and we were always able to get the assistance we needed finding any books. Now with the new building, not only is it beautiful, the same friendly and helpful people are still here. There is a lovely garden entrance, multiple meeting rooms, and even a back porch for outdoor reading. My son enjoyed an event that was recently held here, a community art project where different colored stickers form a large image, and being able to borrow different items like puzzles, games, and binoculars, in addition to books. We tried the binoculars on the porch and spotted some deer!

Semantics aside, the space and staff are wonderful - keeping we, the layfolk - informed and armed to checking out with minimal interaction. Meaning? With the exception of digital media, you can check out your hardcover goodies with a scan-out kiosk. Scan your card, scan your books, and GTFO. They have a tremendous (and largely untapped) digital media collection. Books are cleanly organized and the space itself is incredibly well-kept. No drop box? Bummer. Pick up your books, drop 'em off, and bounce like a baller.
