Lots of libraries during that time period were built by money from individual citizens or families. The library is lovely from the outside, a huge and looming Gothic type of structure that was typical of the time. And like many lovely libraries built over a century ago soon proved to be too small so various additions were added over the years. The library is once again being renovated to make it more efficient and user friendly for the twenty first century. Unfortunately that means the very old part is going to be closed to the public for a while. Too bad, because as far as I'm concerted that is the best part. The library still is pretty cool but not nearly as large as it looks from the outside. Still has just about everything you would expect from a library but you kind of have to put up with the construction being done. Hard to really give this library it's full due. It does have some very cool windows, lots of flowers both inside and out and some friendly librarians. Not a whole lot of books and other materials or cool places to sit but then a large portion of the cool library isn't available. Hopefully the money will be raised and the work finally completed and the venerable, historic and lovely old library will once again be ready to continues into the next century.

Like most early libraries the materials were just moved around until a small building was found to become a permanent home. As the town of Windham grew so did the need for a larger library so in 1971 the present building was constructed. It served well but eventually proved to once again be too small. So a huge addition was completed in 1993 and now Windham has a nice size library with lots of materials and space. The library is lovely inside and out. Lots of very cool lights and paintings on the walls and some very unusual looking plants creep around staircases and corners. Outside is a nice garden and a cool little covered bridge. A nice place to relax with a good book or magazine. The librarians here were very friendly and knowledgeable and were more than pleased to give us the whole history of the town. Windham has a wonderful, practical, and very lovely library. A great example of how a small town library doesn't have to be boring and ordinary.

You can get just about any book or movie you want because the public libraries now network. If Windham doesn't have it but another town does, they'll send it to your local library so you can check it out. In addition to resources, they also have a nice area for the littles to play in. It includes a couple of computers, a train table, puzzles, activities and more. If you check the monthly calendar, there are also special free events to attend. Lastly, there are discount passes that you can sign up for that help save money, or even get you free admission to surrounding museums, parks and more.

CONS: - Limited seating areas during midterms/finals week which is expected - Sometimes dirty desks in study rooms (i.e. food stains). I don't believe they clean the library very often. TIPS: - Can park at meters if not a student (free after 6pm weekdays and free all day on the weekends)

But from the beginning...St. Lawrence was originally a church founded in 1897 on the site of a former ice rink, in the heart of Munjoy Hill. The Front Room is across the street for easy pre-show food/beverages. In 2001, the non profit group Friends of the St. Lawrence re-opened the property as a 110 seat theater. I attended the Nutcracker Burlesque. Mistakenly thinking I was going to a strip club, I downed two strong Manhattan's before. After entering, you immediately encounter the bar, with many affordable options for wine and beer. Unlike Merrill Auditorium or any local theater I've been to, you can bring the drinks to your seat. And I think literally everyone did. I haven't seen such a tipsy, hooting and hollering crowd since Rock of Ages on Broadway. It's a smaller theater and not exceptionally nice, but the lights and sound were great, and you just know the people running it are passionate. There are no assigned seats, so you risk being in proximity to Falmouth soccer moms who won't slide over one seat to make room. Still, there's something charming about this quaint theater, with none of the stuffiness of Merrill. I'll be back.

Maybe 200+ seats. You can hear and see from every seat. If you are super excited about seeing an act that is coming there, I strongly recommend getting tickets. Make sure you get there early, as most shows are seat yo self. They have a bar with wine, beer, and snacks. There are also 5 or 6 restaurants in the vicinity that are great for pre-show tapas or appetizers. There is no parking lot, so it's on street parking in the super popular "East End". Give yourself a lot of time for driving around and scoping out a spot.
