There are plenty of computers available for use as well as tables and chairs on each floor. Great selection of books and other media. Staff members are friendly and helpful. If you have a library card, you can easily request items from anywhere in the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium. Only (minor) downside is with its location downtown, you may have to pay for parking if you park in the lot. It's 50 cents per hour until 6pm each day except Sundays and holidays. However there is plenty of free two-hour parking on the streets.

Have no fear, Lydon Library is here! You can plug in and log on until 2am Sunday thru Thursday during the academic year (September-May)... yes, I said 2AM you procrastinating over-achiever!! Most people are being stupid or sleeping at that hour, but here at UMass Lowell the future engineers and scientists are cramming in their last few hours of studying. (See website for full hours of operation.) This could be Lowell's best kept secret- especially the library's new second floor "Learning Commons" with a variety of seating and table options. Admittedly, I have a slight furniture crush on the acrylic tables that don't overheat my laptop like traditional wood tables do. For the awesome convenience of free late night fast internet you will pay a small price. The entrance is somewhat obscured by Alumni Hall and parking is a bit of an issue. You might get lucky if it's after 5pm and a spot is available behind Cumnock or Southwick Hall. The closest public parking lot is up the street near Egg Roll Cafe- about two blocks from the library. Since EC and DD close before 10pm, your nearest caffeine addiction can be cured by 7-Eleven on Mammoth Rd. Now that you have the power of insider knowledge, I expect that you'll only use it for forces of good.

The building is quite large and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Their budget is…read moregrossly underfunded, but their Friend's group has helped fund events. It seems there is an event pretty much every day and/or night they are open! There are activities for both adults and kids and they now have a teen librarian to entice that group into the library. Their selection of materials is good for popular stuff (best sellers and new music/movies), but if they don't have something less popular, they are a part of the Merrimack Valley consortium so you can request materials from other MV libraries and have them delivered to pick up at the Tewksbury location. The additional programming is definitely worth checking out. There is often a theme for the month, and they have a "movie night" for new movies that have been released on DVD. Finally, I have to note that they were a godsend when I was working from home and lost internet. I was able to use one of the study rooms for the better part of the day (as long as they didn't get busy) and once they got busy, I was able to work in the common area. You can't beat free internet! One thing to beware of is that in the summer, they are closed on the weekends, so if you plan to stop in outside of work, take advantage of their late hours earlier in the week.

I have young grandchildren who visit and plead for me to take them to the library and are upset with me when I tell them it is a day or time that the library is closed!! I noted that a previous person referred to Tewksbury as a Blue Collar town. I am puzzled how a town with homes selling for One Million Plus Dollars can be called Blue Collar?? As an aside, I have never had a problem having access to any book. The staff has always found a way to locate a copy. Tewksbury Library and staff are an asset to our Town.

Beautiful façade and architecture, convenient location, good parking, nice outdoor area…read more More areas for quiet study would be wonderful! There is a reasonable selection of books, however evergreen or more current content could be improved (for example, books on technology that is now nearly obsolete). All libraries are a gift and wonderful resource, including this one. Simultaneously, the study rooms give institutional (prison, mostly) vibes, the chairs, assorted cushions, and potentially mold ridden carpet join in information-fuel, melodious anthem with themes of longing for revival, minimalism, and a spark of life. The significant audiobook and music collection on CDs inspires me to go purchase a new or used CD player! The bottom floor greeted me with a food smell I couldn't determine if it was hot dogs, lasagne or pizza, but it was someone's lunch time and not the smell I would expect in a library. A glance to the right up a dark corridor with low ceilings boasted a dehumidifier, a nod to the challenge it is to control environmental issues, nevermind keeping an environment suitable for books and developing lungs. The outdoor area is in fact amazing. Stepping outside my lungs filled with relief, confirming my suspicion about unavoidable mold/other allergen contamination that happens to most indoor environments over time. The air freshener placed over the vent at the entrance is a call for action if I ever saw one. Residents! Show up to the relevant upcoming meetings (no excuses, here's the calendar lol https://www.derrynh.org/calendar-by-event-type/16) and make your voice heard! Libraries are nearly always underfunded, and Derry's needs and environmental overhaul for health and safety of the workers and visitors.

I love when they do themes; My favorite was the Alice in Wonderland (book displays and amazing decorations throughout the library). My other favorite was from February, relating to Valentine's day: 'go on a blind date with a book' on the display upstairs. the books on display were beautifully wrapped with the only bar code showing, so you would check it out and then unwrap it for the 'date.' So creative. You can tell how passionate they are about reading, and how much they enjoy their work. They have a small area just for teens. Play area and big checker board downstairs in the children's library; I always encourage my students to visit. I've received tons of books through inter-library loan.

I fully intend to visit it next time I'm at the library when the shop is open. Since the other reviews are much older, it's worth mentioning that the library is currently open on Sundays from 1:00-5:00pm.
