Took a two year old here on a Saturday morning as soon as they opened. We were the first ones…read morethere and we were greeted by a security guard which was interesting for a library. I guess peace of mind? There is a secluded area for kids, which is nice. They have a bunch of puzzles and kids toys to play with, which is what we did for about an hour or so. They also have some educational computer games, which in my opinion is the opposite reason to come to the library (want to get the kids AWAY from screens). The man that worked there was overly welcoming, which was interesting and kind of off-putting, honestly. As we were playing, I heard a toilet flush from the kid area in the corner and he immediately came out (certainly didn't wash his hands!). Before we left, I took my kid to the same bathroom, which is a single bathroom for families. As soon as I opened the bathroom door, my nostrils were assaulted by the potent smell of urine. THERE WAS PEE ALL OVER THE SEAT AND IN A HUGE PUDDLE ALL IN FRONT OF THE SEAT. Obviously, it was the male employee that worked there since he was the one only person to use it that morning. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like he intentionally sprayed everything but the actual water in the toilet. Extremely vile and clearly he does not care about keeping an area that is designated for CHILDREN sanitary. Thank God there was Lysol sanitizing spray although that is NOT THE POINT. I shouldn't have to clean a public toilet because a grown man is too careless to aim. I will not make it a point to come back to this library because of that man. The woman at the desk in the kid area was very kind and helpful. I would've given 4 stars if I wasn't so disgusted.

Went in there to use computer. All computers were occupied in the main area. I attempted to go in…read morethe "teen" room, which was empty, but was stopped by staff. I had to be placed on reservation for a computer in the main area. If the teen room is empty, what's the harm in using the computers in there? It's not like there isn't a time limit on computer usage. Silly policy. Not only that, they don't monitor the computer area. They allow people to freely use their cell phones and have loud conversations. Go to the East Norwalk branch. It's bigger, better, cleaner and doesn't smell.

Amazing libraries never cease. The Wilton Library has a small lot, but appears to have more space…read morein the back. I'm unclear why there are hippos and elephants outside, unless it's just because they're awesome art. The inside is full of awesome art as well - some on permanent display, others seem to be more temporary. There are plenty of places to relax and read, including two outdoor spaces in the middle of the building. There is also an innovation station, where you can work on art like monogram or paper arrangements. The librarians were also very friendly and encouraged quietly seeing how beautiful their library is.

Whenever I come back to Wilton to visit my parents, we always make a point of visiting the library…read more I've loved the Wilton Library for my entire life (I even volunteered here in middle school) and it is a nice touchstone for my visits home. A lot has changed in the past 30+ years and the library is nicely modernized but still keeps a familiar and welcoming feel. A big draw is the children's room. The book and media selection is fantastic, there is a fish tank and puzzles and games, and there are lots of year-round programs offered for kids of various ages. I also appreciate the bargain used books for sale - I always make sure to check these shelves out as several times I've found excellent like-new condition hardcover books for just a dollar or two. Thanks Wilton Library for being such a wonderful part of the town for so many years!
