There's a lot of chairs and tables by windows so you can get some natural sunlight while you read or work.

Couple flights of stairs or an elevator and you find yourself in the middle of a pretty neat research library. We went to the North End History exhibit and it was super-informative and very interesting. Lots of neat old photos and details about parts of Portsmouth we drive by on a regular basis without realizing their historical significance. Ask for James, ask a few questions, and sit back and laugh as he takes the history of the area and wraps it up in funny and memorable stories and anecdotes. Just a note - finish your food and coffee before visiting. There are some incredibly old books in this place and you don't want to spill!

The…read morelibrary is not as grand as Beast's, but there is something magical about being around really, really old books and stuff. We met a man who was working (or was he just hanging out? not sure) there and was nice enough to give us a special tour of the place! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Portsmouth and was so passionate about the town. I saw some really neat artifacts here, including whale vertebrae...which totally made me squeal in excitement. Just take a visit to the Portsmouth Athenaeum and strike up a conversation. You never know what you will discover!

The leadership makes extra efforts to welcome the community. The ripple effect of great leadership is evident with the entire staff. Today a wonderful librarian Sat offered me organic gummies and my favorite compact shopping bag. I wished I had took better note of her name. To read on the outsude covered deck looking for herons and listening to the river is heaven for me. Thank you all for being one of my favorite respite places.
