The building is a beautiful stone though, and inside is now a book store owned by the library. They have their selections divided by topic, and are priced reasonably enough for used books. There is a fireplace on the first floor, and a restroom on a little half level going up. Overall a very pretty building.

Washington Connecticut is quite far off the beaten path but I was passing…read morethrough and in need of air conditioning and wifi as it's too hot/humid to be working from the van and also, the cellular service around here is poor. This is truly rural Connecticut. The library is a large facility. Clean, quiet, modern. Stacks and stacks of books, quite a few places to sit and read, and several spots with comfortable tables to use as a work space. I'm sincerely impressed. My only complaint is that the parking lot is small. My Sprinter van was challenged. I don't know how people with big vehicles would do here, especially in the winter.

As a result, I had an excellent experience at Newtown's beautiful library and came away extremely happy. Fantastic job, Shari!
