    Love this library! They have so much available to adults and children whether it's a book club or…read moretoddler story time. With COVID putting a damper on a lot of things they still offer free craft packets- every Monday for the little's! They also made getting a new library card extremely easy and we're just so friendly and pleasant. I also go here often to print shipping labels and at 10 cents per piece of black and white paper- you can't really beat that! They also still decorate by season and the way the books are grouped- makes it extremely easy! I really just enjoy this library- the overall setup and the very friendly staff! Definitely a place we will be frequenting on the regular!

    I visited this library for the first time in many years. I moved out of town along time ago and I…read moreused to come here when my kids were little and it was really nice. My girlfriend still lives in town and she invited me to go to a wreath making class with her. I went and it was so nice. It was free which was surprising and then they also supplied you with wire and they made a bow for me and it was really nice. I brought two big bags of greens from the back of my house because I am not very crafty and didn't know how much I would use but I used a fraction of what I brought. Fortunately we were able to share with each other so I picked out a few other greens that someone had brought and I donated all of mine. The class was fun and the people they were delightful. What a nice place in the community.

    Who knew that there was a library that was previously located in the very downtown center of…read moreDanielson known as Bugbee Memorial Library that last occupied in 1994 as a library when the newer building like this was built and renamed it Killingly Public Library that same year? There is an impressive ongoing book sale collection in between stacks with lots of hardcovers plus some other book nooks too including one in the lobby for free books as well. In the children's room, check out that artificial dinosaur which is pretty neat. Library staff are all nice people here. There are wonderful events going on here throughout the year. As an added bonus, there is a garden or two outside the front of the library building. Come in during the spring for blooming flowers and more. It is such a beautiful library in the heart of the community that is just nearby downtown center of Killingly-Danielson.

    If you have a garden…read moreand a library you have everything. Killingly is a small town of only about 16,000 people but has a surprising large and modern library. A very pleasant environment to read or attend lectures or programs even if the library doesn't have any real historical charm to it. The building is much larger than it looks on the outside and has several different rooms including cool little places for kids and teens and a great local history and genealogy section. Lots of places to sit and just relax in a very comfy setting. Everyone in the library is friendly and Killingly is one of those libraries that always seems to have programs , lectures and displays. A nice community room is available to everyone and a book sale is going on continuously to help raise money to maintain the library. Lots to do even if you don't want a specific book. Killingly is a pleasant town with lots of gardens that also has a very nice library. I don't think that Marcus Cicero was thinking of Killingly when two thousand years ago he said "When you have a garden and a library you have everything", but if he ever saw Killingly he just might have thought it.

    I'm challenging myself to visit all public libraries in the state of Rhode Island this year. This…read morelibrary was the second one I visited and on my drive there, I felt some nostalgia since I used to play soccer down the street at wide world of indoor sports when I was younger. What caught my eye (and my ears) when I first arrived was the water and trees beyond the parking lot. You can go down there as there are benches. The library is a bit small, but they make good use of their space. A lot of their books are in the shelves where you can press a button to open to the section you need, which does conserve space. They did have a puzzle you can help make, but what I was really happy about was their bird watching section. There's a big window bringing in natural light, a warmth that feels like a hug, one couch and two cushioned seats, and a great view to the birdfeeders outside. It's great for kids (and adults too), and apparently in the summer, they have hummingbirds. They also have a kids section, large print section, and new books.

Some libraries in New England are also historical places, great old building that were fortunately preserved. Others are in beautiful natural settings with great views. Very few have all three. The North Smithfield is definitely one the few. The library is in a old mill that was built back in the 1800's, a massive stone building that drips with history and character. A few additions have increased it's size over the years but the original structure is still very obvious. The walls must be four feet thick in places. Great fun just to walk around the place and look at the amazing construction. This building was made to last forever. If you go outside to the back on the library you will notice a park like setting and the sound of running water. The Blackstone River is the sound of the noise and a cool waterfall that use to power the mill is right there, and in fact another cool waterfall is only a short distance upstream and easily seen. Several benches, some old rusty industrial artifacts and a very cool little bridge makes this a great place to sit and read or relax. I've found most librarians to be extremely friendly but the ones here go beyond the call of duty. When I said that I was interested in the history of the library one even took me on a tour of the building and gave me information about the town and mills in the area. Patiently answered all of my stupid questions. A lot of the towns in many states are having budget difficulties and unfortunately the local libraries are often one of the first victims. This library is an absolutely gem and historical and natural beauty and it would be an incredible crime if some improvident and parsimonious politician decided to close it down to save a few dollars. It is quite literally irreplaceable. Sometimes you just don't realize what you have until it's gone.

    The best of both…read moreworlds The Blackstone Public Library is a visual stunning but still an extremely useful, efficient and very modern library. I believe it was built around 1978 and has all the modern conveniences that you would expect in a new library. However what really makes this library special is the fact that although it is thoroughly modern it still has the unique feel and ambiance of an old and historical library. The architecture is stunning, from the stone exterior to the vaulted and beamed ceilings. Aesthetically lovely and spacious at the same time. Since it is a large library there are plenty of resources and places to spread out and relax and it's a pleasure just to walk through the wonderful space. One of the best parts of the library is the incredible Historical Room. Not only old books and records but a great genealogy section and even a section for newspaper obituaries. A truly stunning and lovely library that manages to look toward the future without forgetting about the past.

    This is a review just studying wise…read more This library is great, nice big and open. all the times I've gone its never been really packed with people. i was always able to find place to sit and get my work done. The WiFi is fast, no problems with that at all. Lots of big tables to really spread out all your work. Probably the best thing about this place is all the tables have power outlets in the middle of the tables. It is absolutely thee best thing ever about this place i love this. it is so convenient for me or anyone that needs power and doesn't have to go on a search for an outlet. tell them i sent you, quietly of course.
