The library is a bit smaller than some of the others (then again, we're spoiled by the vastness of the Mahopac Public Library), but doesn't skimp on book selection and friendliness of the staff. This is also an excellent place to visit with children - their youth section is robust and it always seems like there's some fun programming for kids going on whenever we visit. The Howland Public Library is a definite asset to the Beacon community, and a must-visit to add to your list when you're in town!

I don't really like the noise policy which enables one loud person to largely ruin the quiet environment for all others trying to read or study. Workers act irritated and annoyed to answer simple client requests. There's a large parking lot. The budget draws 2 million a year from taxpayers and it seems the high cost derives from excessive fees for digital subscriptions which large Silicon Valley corporations charge local libraries. It's shameful. Hours are limited.

I adore libraries - must be the nerd in me - and I love the Butterfield Library in Cold Spring. The…read moreadorable brick building aside, it is everything I think of when imagining the perfect library: historic, well-preserved interior, complete with (nonfunctional) fireplace; large guilded paintings of the founders, dressed in fine 19th century garb; neatly stacked shelves; graceful tables for sitting and reading; and a friendly staff. The library is small - the literature/fiction section is in front, while most of the historical and non-fiction texts are located in the larger room, which has a stage for presentations. There is also a children's section downstairs, and the library has two computers for browsing the card catalog. I've been able to find books I've wanted here, but just as often end up requesting items through Butterfield's interlibrary loan system (remember, it's a small place). But I don't care where the books come from, really - I just love climbing the front steps, opening the door and entering Library Land. Not chaotic, we-must-queue-up-New-York-Public-Library-land, but Old Fashioned Library Land, where you can gather your books together and linger, because lingering is necessary and encouraged.

I went in here a few times- one to read some books, and they had some great Arthur books by the children section. They do also host kids events at the library, as well as events like movies under the stars for the summer. Now, as I had a library card for this location, I really haven't used the library. Oh tho- my mom used the library for wifi when our power was out, and she said it was good, and quiet. Again though, I had a library card but didn't really use it. Think one time I was looking for Percy Jackson books and they didn't have it, and was a tween then. Anyways. Went here recently (note 3 stars) on Wednesday July 23rd 2025 because we were moving soon, and I had books and VHS tapes to donate. When I got there, they said no, we don't accept donations-- which i thought was kind of weird. After all, especially if they are vintage books that can still be applicable, donations should be considered. While the person who told me was pleasant and understanding- i just thought it was kind of weird.Again, having books, especially vintage ones may be of interest of have because then others would read them- like if their parents read this book, they might borrow the book for their kids. Now the books ending up going to a goodwill instead. At least i tried!
