But it's a very quiet road and I pulled way over, so I think that was okay. Painted a light blue and with a shingled roof, there is a single plexiglass door panel. Inside, three shelves of books that were stacked neatly and quite full. A variety of mostly softcovers and mostly fiction, this is one of the better libraries that I've seen in a while. So many books! I ended up taking the Grisham hardcover with me and it will make its journey from Maryland to somewhere near Charlotte before going into another Little Free Library. This is charter 81252 and the steward is the "Catoctin Area Civitan Club." Thank you! [Review 15593 overall - 638 in Maryland - 1097 of 2021.]

The Maryland Book Bank is a great nonprofit that focuses on providing book access to kids. It's…read moredefinitely come a LONG way from its early days in the cramped, hot space connected to the Baltimore Sun building. New space is much better. This location is much more open since it's like a warehouse with shared space for other nonprofits. The books are somewhat organized, but since they have lots of book donations, there are always bins and bins full of books that are constantly being sorted. My suggestion is to come when you have the time to sort through the book options and pick through what's useful. Some books are brand new, others with a little wear, and some are much older. It's a pretty mixed bag of books They're open about 4 days a week for specific timeframes. It's absolutely free to get a certain number of books, and kids can take as many as they can carry. You can also buy a membership, which is tax deductible, if you would like to take more than the allotted amount. They also have special events here and there for members. Overall, this is a great place to get books for classrooms, daycares, camps, etc.

Take the road that puts you as close as you can get to the interstate. It is a dim space among a huge warehouse that houses several other non-profits, so you might want to consider bringing donations when you come. The books are all free! There are only kids books, donated from the community, in pretty good used condition. Bring a bag or box. Each person is allowed 25 books, unless they purchase a yearly membership for $45. The hours are Wed 3-5 pm, and Sat 9-11 am. Amazing!!!

Inside, a great selection of paperbacks and hardcovers in an assortment of genres. I don't know that I've ever read Tom Clancy's Cardinal of the Kremlin so that came with me today.

We've had multiple events at this fire department's reception hall and never have we been…read moredisappointed. My most favorite event though was my wedding. We actually had another fire department's social hall booked for our wedding but because someone was disorganized and got into criminal activity they double booked us and threw a major wrench in my wedding plans considering we had planned everything around the reception area. So, I got ahold with the coordinator for New Windsor Fire Department's rental and she told me that they could help us out because they had the date we needed open and was the closest to all of the rest of our wedding festivities so it worked perfectly. Tammy & her husband Brett are the rental coordinators and they are sweet people who will do what they can do make your event fit the days you need! The rental fee was extremely fair considering they pay someone to come clean the hall before events. The left over money from the rental fee goes towards the fire department so not only can you have a great event but you're also giving back to the community as well! As far as tables go they have rectangular that they use as events such as bingo's, etc and they also have round tables that we were able to fit 8 around comfortably. They even have a sweet heart table and a arch you're able to rent. We had up 20 tables with 8 at each not including our head table where we had 12 of us all together. This is a handicap friendly facility which was another selling point as we had some guests who need handicap arrangements. To cover their bingo boards they have curtains but also have a lattice work wall that you can decorate using whatever kind of material that will fit your party theme. So for example, we had a rustic country wedding and we took fall leaves since our wedding was in November and draped it with burlap and draped it along the lattice work. I'll also post pictures. The bathrooms were extremely clean and had handicap stalls. They have a full working kitchen and if you were to have a wedding the ladies auxiliary is an option to use for your caterer if you'd like and we chose them to have a southern home cooked buffet style meal and everyone is still talking about our food almost 2 years later! Those women in the New Windsor Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary can cook and they also will do an uncorking, cake cutting and food serving for a fee. Also, there is a tap room that can be used for an extra charge and they want someone to be manning it so I'd look into that too! We even had them light our candles that were in our mason jars! Another sweet treat the ladies did for us was when we went to leave, they made a box of food for my husband and I to take to our hotel room for the night considering we were going to be flying to the Caribbean the next morning. It was so sweet and greatly appreciate since we didn't really get to eat a whole lot at our wedding! They even sent pieces of our cake since we didn't get to really eat none of that either, haha! If you're looking for a venue say for a wedding, this would be perfect! If you're looking for somewhere that can fit at least 20 tables if not more, have room for a great dance floor, room for a buffet or food setup including your cake, a spot for the DJ and gifts and other decorations then this is your place! Like I said, I will post pictures so you can see for yourself how great and affordable of a venue this is! We will definitely continue to use this venue for future events throughout our lives and always recommended it to people we know who are looking for venues because we loved it that much!
