In a region with unbelievably poor cell reception and nearly no 4G cell service anywhere wi-fi suddenly became terrifically valuable. The library is easy to miss. It's set a little deeper into the property and it's next to a school. So the school's sign was the first one I saw. I entered the gated property and drove up to the dark building. I wondered if passers by might think I was trying to steal something. I pull out my phone and "Lo and behold" connection! I was surprised how isolating it was not to be able to call my wife or to have access to any of the information I've become accustomed to and it was equally surprising to realize my sense of relief when that ability was returned to me. It's kind of a small thing until you loose it. Then it's a big thing. So to the employees and management of the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library, thanks for leaving your wi-fi on, even when no one's there.

I relocated from Boston, MA to Deering, NH in 1977. My husband and I were looking for a place to…read moreraise our two children, then seven and twelve. We looked at many places, first in Maine, then in NH. I was reluctant to move, and agreed to it only if we could find a town with both a bowling alley and a great library! My husband just wanted a lot of land and no traffic. On our first visit to the area we checked out the library. I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful space, the stained glass windows, the hand-carved bears coat rack, the huge fireplace, and the cozy reading nooks. The head librarian, Rita Morgan, was friendly and knowledgeable, and made us feel very welcome. What cinched the deal for me was the majestic grandfather clock that chimed and bonged every hour. After 41 years here, the bowling alley is long gone, and Rita Morgan, sadly, passed on many years ago, but her successors have kept the homey feeling of the space while moving it slowly into the 21st century. While I have never gotten used to the harsh winters and buggy springs, I am happy to say I still love the library!!

Where is one to find access to this kind of distracting technology in the hills of, specifically, Weston, VT? The nearest open Library - in Londonderry, of course. The library was open, and the staff wonderfully helpful! The had a good supply of books, an even better supply of amazing history, and best of all, a strong and free WiFi! I published my article, and since it was raining (POURING!) when I wanted to leave, stayed to chat with the man minding the building. He was great to talk with, and offered some warm and welcoming insights to the library and area. We talked about a lot, including the Weston Priory where I was headed. If you need a quiet spot to get a good book, or just to get some things done, check out this gem.

The only thing I could think of was a fast food restaurant or a maybe a library. I check the GPS and lo and behold the Newbury Public Library is just up the road.

So to the staff and administration of the Newbury Public Library, thank you! Your library was a beacon of sophistication and connection on a cold, dark night where communication was otherwise, surprisingly difficult.

The library is quite modern on the inside despite being in an older and refined building. A large collection of books including the usual fiction, non-fiction, reference and periodicals. Friendly and helpful staff who helped me get settled. And a free wifi that worked very well. Street parking with meters and you're expected to find a different space after two hours. Okay, I did that. [Review 18442 overall - 42 in Vermont - 1964 of 2022.]

Thanks Jerry. My experience there was really unfortunate. I recieved a threatening notice that…read moreVermont law allowed for a fine of up to $400. for a book that was not returned. There was no further explanation offered, no further elaboration, or justification for that amount. That is the basis of my Yelp. The day I got the notice, I was, ironically, driving to Boston to return books to both the Boston Public Library, and a university library. When I returned to Brattleboro and saw the notice, I came in inquire about the threatening tone of the note. I was assured by reference librarian the that they only sent that after an initial notice had been ignored, and that fine amount was encoded in Vermont law. I had not recieved any prior notice and I asked if there was a record that the first notice was indeed sent to me. The reference librarian then took me back to the office behind the main desk. A woman there looked up my account and told both of us that there had, in fact, been no prior notice sent. There had indeed been an error. I love the charm of the library, but I woud not assume people are out to harm it or inflict financial strain on it. I am curious to know how anyone (particularly a legislator) thought $400 was a good idea, or why it would be used as an incentive to get a book back? That's where I think $25 would do the trick. It seems like overkill and unecessarily threatening.
