Of all the libraries in the area, I like this one the least. They only have a couple of study rooms which are a bit small and the overall vibe is just a little depressing. Resource wise I'm sure it has all the other features and benefits of the Minuteman Library Network (which is great) so I'm just rating as a place to study.

Pros + Part of the…read moreMinuteman Library Network so they can get books for over 40 different libraries + Free library card when you are a resident + On line account to renew and request books + Email reminders for renewing books or updates on your requested book + Books can be borrowed from the other libraries in the group and be sent to any of those locations for pickup + Key chain membership card + Community computers available + Books for sale in the store and most times Monthly on Sat + Staff is pleasant and helpful + Books in many languages + Programs to learn languages + Required Summer reading list for all grades are easy to find, use, check out. (Check out last year's list) + Outside return box + Covered parking garage (but narrow go slow) + Good community info and material available in the hall about events + Get free passes to museums (quite a lot of places to pick from) + Scheduled activites and events each month + Monthly news posting showing events and what is coming up. Cons + I like the separate area for children but I am not crazy about going up and down and having my children scattered through the library with two different check out areas. + I don't like paying a $1 for an old movie retail (kids really wanted it). I think they should be free like the books. Redbox for new movies cost me $1.06. - Museum passes are limited so you need to sign up early

The entire second floor of the Library is dedicated to kids. There are separate rooms on this floor for playing, crafts, and reading. The room for kids to play in is HUGE! There are toys for younger children, such as trucks, dinosaurs, and dolls. They had a little corner with a Barbie House and Barbies to play with; puzzles, board games, and blocks. This is the best room I've seen at a library for kids; and I have visited a lot of libraries in Massachusetts. They have a great selection of books for adults and kids; the librarians were all extremely friendly and helpful; they have computers for the public to use, as well as printers and a copy machine. Unlike the Worcester Public Library, which is the closest library to where I live; my kids and I were able to go here, actually use a computer and print off what we needed; and not be asked 4 times in the parking lot for money and then harassed inside the library for money as well (an EVERYTIME OCCURRENCE AT THE Worcester library ). I truly enjoyed my visit here, and I can safely say it was one of, if not the funniest time, my daughter and son had at a local library. The only thing stopping me from 5 's was that they had very few video games, or at least for the popular systems most kids play today, which was what my son had been most looking forward too; and the ONLY other downfall was the parking. There aren't a lot of places to park, and being on the Main Street of Oxford I feel like parking on certain roads may not be allowed. Other than that, if you haven't visited the Oxford Public Library, bundle up your kids and take advantage of a pretty awesome place to entertain them entirely for free!!

There has been quite a few building upgrades which were much needed. They were also done without affecting the beautiful stone exterior and the old windows of the building. Inside is cozy and unique. There are three floors. You walk in the main entrance to the adult and sections on both sides. There is a balcony above where many more books are located. If you go downstairs, there is a great children's section. The staff is all very sweet and accommodating. They are all there to help and are great with recommendations or with locating material. They do many activities and meetings in this building. They also have passes available for local museums and parks. There was a major technology upgrade as well. Gone are the days of the massive card catalog with the lengthy drawers of cards stating the location and reference information of the books. There are now several laptops you can borrow for the sitting area or look up and get your book checked out all via computer programs. It's a great spot to bring a coffee in and browse or read for hours. Love this little place. Ps- it also doesn't get crazy crowded and there doesn't seem to be many unwanted visitors that pass through here.

It was complete in 1915 in sort of a Tudor Revival style but has had so many additions and changes over the years that the original is hardly recognizable. This is one of those libraries that just seems to ramble on in a pleasant sort of a way. Lots of different things to look at, including the ubiquitous library quilts to a whole bunch of cool photos of airplanes. Lots of space to spread out and study or do research or to find a comfy spot to read a book. Everything here is logical and convenient and very functional. A pleasant library that has friendly and helpful staff, working wifi and computers but still manages to retain a link to the past.
