The best of both…read moreworlds The Blackstone Public Library is a visual stunning but still an extremely useful, efficient and very modern library. I believe it was built around 1978 and has all the modern conveniences that you would expect in a new library. However what really makes this library special is the fact that although it is thoroughly modern it still has the unique feel and ambiance of an old and historical library. The architecture is stunning, from the stone exterior to the vaulted and beamed ceilings. Aesthetically lovely and spacious at the same time. Since it is a large library there are plenty of resources and places to spread out and relax and it's a pleasure just to walk through the wonderful space. One of the best parts of the library is the incredible Historical Room. Not only old books and records but a great genealogy section and even a section for newspaper obituaries. A truly stunning and lovely library that manages to look toward the future without forgetting about the past.

This is a review just studying wise…read more This library is great, nice big and open. all the times I've gone its never been really packed with people. i was always able to find place to sit and get my work done. The WiFi is fast, no problems with that at all. Lots of big tables to really spread out all your work. Probably the best thing about this place is all the tables have power outlets in the middle of the tables. It is absolutely thee best thing ever about this place i love this. it is so convenient for me or anyone that needs power and doesn't have to go on a search for an outlet. tell them i sent you, quietly of course.

I was heading home from work and I needed to print something for a family member in the area so I…read morestopped into this library, not knowing what I was getting into. Anyways they do have a little parking lot area, and then you walk down a little walkway and into the building, it is huge and absolutely beautiful on the outside I had no idea this was a LIBRARY! As soon as I walked in I was greeted and the young lady navigated me to where the computer area was so I could print. I found it easily with her help, because I could've got lost this place is huge and every book lovers dream (me). There was a lady at the computer area and she was very sweet she showed me how to print because every library is different. I noticed all ages, races and religions were in this library quietly and getting things done. I love that. I printed what I needed too very easily with no conflict, I was in and out within 10 minutes I liked that. But this place is dreamy, such a huge selection of books and you can easily get lost in here it's so huge. Very clean and neat, they didn't have carts with books that block isles as I have seen in so many other libraries. Loved it here. I will be coming back to just do some self care, the aura and vibes I felt here were great. It's surprisingly quiet even though it was jam packed with people.

While in Pawtucket, recently, I stopped by the Pawtucket Public Library to check it out. I had…read morenever been inside before, just driven past it many times. The library is a complex of two historical buildings, the Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library and the Gerald S. Burns Building. Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1898, Pawtucket's first Mayor, Frederic Clark Sayles offered to give a plot of land on Summer Street for the construction of a free public library. He traveled to Europe, looking for architectural inspiration from Europe's most majestic libraries. The Library is not only distinctive in its architecture, but also in its service. It was one of the first libraries in the country to allow users open access to the library book stacks and one of the first to be open on Sundays, accommodating the many Pawtucket mill workers who worked six days a week. The Sayles Building is an impressive example of Greek revival architecture. Four massive Ionic columns form a portico at the former entrance. The front doorway of this building is an exact replica of the Erechtheion, a Greek temple on the Acropolis at Athens. The panels show a comprehensive view of the world's civilizations. The panels depict scenes from Roman, Grecian, Egyptian, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, and Teutonic civilizations. The Library is known for its decorative ceilings, soaring pillars, and glass-floored North balcony. The Gerald S. Burns Building served as the Pawtucket Post Office from 1896 to the 1940's. A dome tops its round entrance, which is located at the intersection of the streets. In 1982, the renovations of the original United States Post Office building were completed and the Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library was joined with the newly dedicated Gerald S. Burns building to become what is known today as the Pawtucket Public Library. There were lots of people inside using the library and it was very refreshing to see their love of books and learning. A beautiful building for an up-and-coming city in Rhode Island.

I'm challenging myself to visit all public libraries in the state of Rhode Island this year. This…read morelibrary was the third one I visited. Although I live very close to this library, I always went to the Pawtucket Public Library, so I never got a chance until now to go in. I loved the ceiling in the checkout area when you first walk in. There are a couple tables and more comfortable seats to do homework, read books, or hang out. One thing I was impressed by was the printing costs. The first 10 pages for black and white are free, and the first five in color are free. Thereafter, its $0.15 and $0.25 respectively which is not bad. I am used to paying a little more at the Pawtucket Library starting with page one. The back part of the library could use a little more lighting but on sunny days, there is enough clarity to get by. They do have some activities for kids and a little section dedicated to them. There is a parking lot, enough for about 10 cars and I liked the art on the wooden fence in the parking lot.

It's not easy living in a city that's the butt of almost every Rhode islander's jokes. I am a…read morefierce defender of Central Falls. It's imperfect, but there are some great things here. It's especially sad when the city cannot afford to keep the library open. I went here as a kid. The children's librarian was Priscilla, who I adored. Priscilla was sweet and patient and helpful. The building itself, also known as the Adams Memorial Library, is lovely. Unfortunately, the books inside are old and outdated. At best, the library was a place for school kids to get their hands on the internet and maybe do a little research. The closing of both the library and the rec center hit a lot of residents hard. Go ahead, laugh all you want. I can no longer defend this nearly-bankrupt city.
