    Peabody Institute Library - Don't think I'm suppose to be in here

Ol' George was a boy that was dirt poor but through hard work and intelligence made bezillions of dollars over the years. George not only made this library possible but a whole bunch of other pretty amazing places. Including a certain Peabody Museum at Yale University in CT. The library was designed by famous architect Richard Bond and is a lovely brick building that has gone through lots of additions and changes over the years. I heard that it once had a huge tower in that back that was destroyed decades ago. The library is rather scattered inside, some rooms are ornate and beautiful and others very plain. It's easy to tell where the additions were added because they don't blend in well with the old parts. The library is a fascinating place to explore, the kids room and local history room are really cool and it's the type of library with lots of nooks and places to check out. Some were places where I suspect I wasn't suppose to be. The librarians here were wonderful and friendly and happy to tell me all about their cool, old library. Not as grand and stunning as some other old libraries but the Peabody Institute definitely is unique.

    The Shite Library is in an amazing facility for being on Broadway Everett. The exterior of the…read morebuilding looks old but then new you just have to see it to understand. Has multiple entrances and they're all directly on the sidewalk pretty much. I like to walk in the entrance all the way to the left once entered if you go to the right, you'll be in the children's area or if you go up the stairs that are directly in front of you, then go through the arches reach out what I believe to be historical big wooden doorways fabulous and you are in the main library this floor also houses the computer section I believe they have 8 or 10 computers. This library is fully staffed on both levels. I usually view 4 to 5 librarians at a time. The library is extremely clean and well organized. There are many different sitting areas which you can enjoy to flip through a book or listen to videos, etc. this is definitely a local library as there is no parking lot that I know of. Next time I am there I will inquire to see if there was one behind the building. I entered from Broadway on all trips so I did not see one. The book selection seems to be fabulous as does tech options.

    Shute Library is located near Glendale Square. It one of two libraries in Everett, while it not as…read moremodern as the Parlin library it does have some nice features. The hours it's open have improved. I have found that the internet here is fast, faster then mine or a coffee shop wi-fi (and you don't have to buy anything). The seating options are not fancy give you space to work, If I could I would add more power outlets (and put them is better locations) but hey it's an older building. They have children's area down stairs, where the bathroom is. You use the same library card you use at Parlin library. If you go around the time high school lets out, some of the teenagers can be a little loud and rowdy but if it bothers me I have headphones. Also I sit on the on the side of the library farthest from the bank of public computers, which is less busy.

    This is one of the very institutions that help me learn to read as I lived in Chelsea as a small…read moreboy kindergarten through eighth grade. When I was very young we used to gather in a circle in the library and would read to us that would be grades kindergarten through second we used to walk down as groups from my neighborhood just for the readings it was very exciting back then I wish more people read now I pray for future Generations. Glad to know the library is still open and going strong. Also notice the fabulous architecture it hasn't changed in 40 years although it's much much older than that. Many many many things have changed in Chelsea, but I'm very glad to see that the City Hall in public library have stayed the same.

    Customer service is five stars from the head librarian!…read more I walked in here one day, new to Chelsea and wanted to see my new library. The librarian immediately greeted me and welcomed me. He asked where I was from, how I got here, what I was looking for, etc. He told me he has been here for 30+ years and can answer about any question. He gave me a "tour" of the library, showing me where the computers, fiction, non-fiction, magazines, and movies were all located. The building itself is a circular shape which makes it odd for storing books. However, he assured me if they don't have it where I can find it, simply ask. They can also get anything from the Boston Public library circulation too, which is very helpful. I came in a second time several weeks later and the librarian greeted me and welcomed me back. The staff make it very easy for you to find what you need. I have not spent a ton of time here but did see people utilizing the computers and reading areas. I think it's a great part of the community--free for all! Check out their facebook too for special programming if you have kids!
