It also doesn't have a ton of businesses but it DOES have the businesses that I want. Such as Roche Brothers, Verizon Wireless, CVS, Dunkin Donuts... etc. I do not find the taxes to be that high for such a small little town. It is located about five minutes from a commuter rail station and most of the roads in town are not very crowded (except for 109). Recently I have seen a lot of good updates to the town, including a new library, a new police station, and a Needham Bank Location in what was a blighted gas station. If there is crime here I haven't seen it. I actually think Mills is poised to really become one of those nice towns as it is right next to Medfield, Dover, Needham, Sherborn, and Holliston. One thing I do wish the town could work on is that most condos and apartments in the town are about 35 years old. We need new and nicer apartments / housing. Not a ton but one nice complex. I have no idea what that hideous factory is across the street from Roche Brothers but I think that land is some prime space for housing. There is a road around back that would work prefect to keep 109 traffic down.

A very, very special…read morelibrary The first Hopedale library started back in 1855 and it was just a few hundred books stuck in the back of a school until Joseph Bancroft built this library in 1898 in honor of his wife Sylvia. He stated he wanted something very, very special to be constructed in her memory and he definitely got his wish. I've seen a whole heap of libraries but this is one that that made my jaw drop. Just so many unusual and different things to look at, the books inside seem absolutely irrelevant. The first thing that catches your eye is the building itself, made of pink Milford granite and fashioned after an Oxford chapel, it is indeed stunning. Strange and mysterious, it looks like it was just plunked down from somewhere else. If you go over to the side you will notice a huge fountain. This was a gift from another local resident and was actually used as a for drinking until the board of health decided it probably wasn't a good idea to have people drinking from the same fountain as horses, dogs and pigeons. Once inside the library your eyes will immediately seek the ceiling. Exposed beams and intricate carvings will strain your neck and your sense of reality. How can this really be a library? The quiet and darkness just adds to the ambiance. Plenty of cool old pictures of cool old people long gone and strange antiques are everywhere and dark and spooky corners and rooms complete the bizarre and extraordinary landscape. The librarian was friendly and helpful but rather reserved, like she knew she worked in the coolest damn library in the whole state and there was no need to be obvious about it. I've seen a lot of libraries and it takes a very special library to really impressive me but the Bancroft Library certainly did the trick. Sylvia Bancroft did indeed get something, very, very special in her memory.

They are rude, curt, dismissive, condescending and lack basic customer service skills. There were many times I waited at the desk to ask a simple question and it takes them 15 minutes to even acknowledge you. I'm not sure if they're just miserable people in general, or miserable people because they are working in a library, but it is a disappointing experience for sure when you just want to take your kids to grab some books.

Plants, books and…read moreweird sculpture The first Buckingham Library started back in 1894 when the town decided to buy one hundred dollars worth of books and stick them in the house of a generous volunteer.. This was the official library until 1905 when the growing number of books were place in a spare room at the local school. It became increasingly obvious over the years that this was not the ideal solution so in 1930 the first "real" library was built. Conveniently located on Main Street, this library served well until maintenance problems and size restraints made the town realize that it needed a new and more modern library. So a new building was constructed and in 1989 opened it's doors for business. The new Bellingham Library isn't one of the most stunning libraries from the outside. Rather plain and symmetrical and except from the bizarre sculpture of a kid standing on her head guarding the front of the library, the building isn't going to drop any jaws. However the inside is extremely well designed with a nice flow of lines and everything nicely organized and easy to find. One of the best things about the library is the abundance of plants inside. Large and creeping greenery greet you around every corner. A pleasant addition to all the books and computers. The librarians were cheerful, funny and helpful and suited the ambiance of the library perfectly. A very pleasant library that has a sense of peace and purpose. The aesthetics won't blow you away but the building will impress in a quiet and gentle way. Especially if you happen to enjoy statures of kids doing somersaults.

The Morse library is a great institution in the center of Natick. I routinely come here with my…read moredaughter to read books, do puzzles, or play with the toy kitchen or the wooden train. I also sometimes works from the library. There are little quiet nooks next to windows which are ideal for quiet concentrated work. The WiFi is reliable and fast enough, the bathrooms are clean, and there are water fountains. I also often borrow books, either physical or digital copies. The Minuteman Library Network has a ton of books and they will ship them to your library of choice. There are still more things that I haven't yet tried: 3D printing, classes and events, and reserving rooms for my meetings. Finally I have found the staff to be very knowledgeable and pleasant to interact with.
