Aside from one person, most come across as cold and unfriendly. It's still worth visiting, but that is definitely very disappointing.

The New Canaan library is currently in flux. It's clearly been expanded on at least once, and…read morethey're currently in process of building a whole new building. There is public parking behind, but the construction makes it challenging to get to. There is street parking, and if you're terrible at it like me, you may circle the block a few times. Inside they have a display so you can see what the future building will look like. They also have their regular children's and adults sections. The new building should be open in 2023, and looks like it will definitely be worth a visit!

I don't know if I walked into a library or bar. I brought my grandson last week to get recipe…read morebooks. I wanted to get a library card for myself while we were there. We were looking through books and a loud deep voice was talking and shouting across the library the entire half hour we were in the library ruined our visit. I couldn't understand why the librarians weren't kicking them out. When I went to say something, I noticed it was a librarian doing all the talking. A woman with a deep voice. We tried moving to other parts of the library, but we could hear her everywhere. I left without getting a card or taking books out, because I couldn't hear my own thoughts over her talking. I went back yesterday hoping for it to be quieter. The deep voice talker wasn't there, but this time there was a different woman with tatoos and two blonde women having a party at the big librarian desk. That's what they had to be doing because they were loud cackling and laughing. I left again without getting a library card and I won't be back. It's sad there aren't peaceful places anymore where I can bring my grandson and read a book in a quiet place. I thought the library was that one place for us.

I am generally mixed regarding this library. It has some good aspects to it, particularly the sheer…read moreselection of books and physical media and the comfortable setting, but it also has some flaws. For one, the noise level is mediocre. Inattentive parents will bring their noisy kids here, and the librarians make no attempt to reprehend the noise. The echo level doesn't help either, as those who are trying to their work or read a book are off-put by whiny kids in the lobby. But the good here does outshine the bad, particularly when it comes to what they have here. The teen and DVD sections are excellent, and there's some great books and movies that you can check out here.

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.

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!
