They got it right…read more Willington, Ct isn't a large town, only about 6,000 people and what served as the public library was just a room tucked away in a middle school. Something hardly unexpected for a small town with lots of trees and rocks but not many houses. However the town decided they needed a real library and since they were going to have to build it from scratch why not have something special. Why not indeed. The new Willington Library is amazing. Absolutely stunning inside and out. It's obviously a new building so it doesn't have the archaic charm of many of the old and historic libraries in the area but just because it is new doesn't mean it has to be boring. The architects did a great job making a building that is both very functional, user friendly but also aesthetically beautiful. I love how the structure looks from the outside, with the flowing lines that makes the library seem much larger than it actually isl That is not to say it's a small library because it isn't. Lots of room on the inside so everything is spacious and not crowded. So many places to find a spot and relax without anyone around to bother you. Some chairs are even tucked into between large plants so you have to read with leaves in you face. All the modern library conveniences are available plus a wonderful kid's room and meeting hall. The librarians were wonderful and seeing how proud they were of there library was infectious. It took a awhile for the town to finally get their new library but it was worth the wait because they sure got it right.

It stands an impressive 7' tall and is secured to a concrete, brick, and stone base. It's designed in the style of an "armillary sphere", which I found out is a " model of objects in the sky consisting of a spherical framework of rings that represent longitude and latitude". Anyway, it's gorgeous, with bronze Roman numerals on the inside and bronze zodiac signs on the outside of the rings. There's a bronze plaque with a thought provoking quote on the base that reads: Honoring 100 Years 1903 - 2003 Given By Board of Directors Friends of the Library "Anyone who has a library and a garden wants for nothing" - Cicero

This is the review of the Rockville Public Library:…read more In the downtown section of good ol' Rockville, just across the street from the Rockville General Hospital is the place where the world of reading exists. Along Union St. is a place called The George Maxwell Memorial Library (known professionally as the Rockville Public Library). Housed in over 100,000+ books, periodicals, movies, & other resources, this is the place you might want to look forward into (if you haven't been there, I'm pretty sure you'll like it there). This is a reader's favorite place to read & relax! I have been coming here for many years. This institution is one of the town's most recognized landmarks in existence. Opened in 1904, it had been an independent library up until just last year. It finally became a town department (in prior years, it was operated by the endowment given in dedication to the memorial of the late George Maxwell) in July of 2018 so the town of Vernon now takes full control of this 115+ year old landmark. Now, once you walk inside the library by using the front entrance, you'll notice that they have a lot of historical, well-maintained elements from the time the doors were first opened to the public. Here, you'll see a lonely chair in the reading room (that hasn't been repurposed or recycled) that was there since 1904, along with a light fixture on the top of the ceiling. In the Adult's Department, they have a lot of selection of books, ranging from bestsellers to biographies to books on Holocaust in the dedicated section about its historical event. They don't just carry books, they also bring to you cupcake pans on loan. Then, in the Teen section, they have their room with a lot of selection of these books. Yes, they have a teen librarian who runs it! Next, you walk downstairs, and there you see a Children's room. A room that has a lot to offer for young children & tweens. There's a lot of children's books for all ages! Every time I visit this library (I go there every couple of weeks, considering it's my hometown library!), there is something new I want to get carried on in my hands. A book, a movie, or even a magazine may excite me a lot as I always use my library card to check it out. Annually, they bring in a month full of festive trees in December, a student art exhibit during early spring, etc... You might want to consider making your stop at the library the next time you head out! Just to either get a library card (and have a book checked out!) or attend a library event. Trust me, it's sincerely an awesome library, at its best. The best place in my hometown is here to help you make new discoveries, right HERE!

The environment is calm and peaceful, with sealed glass group activity rooms for which to carry on without distraction to patrons. The restrooms are male - female separated by 30 feet, well ventilated, paper supplied and clean. The computing stations are powered by up to date Dell Inspiron small computing networked hardware. Wifi is sluggish though rated at gigabit speed, with average password security; however, the hardline backbone network is fast with very little downtime. Printer services are expensive and require mild technical expertise and paper stock is not premium either. Parking is adequate with an allowable overflow into the adjacent strip mall. I enjoy this place.

So this is the second time I've ever been to the Booth & Dimock library, thanks to the Connecticut Authors Trail, and I've got to tell you, it's a hidden gem as far as libraries go. Very clean, well lit, fully stocked, pretty up to date as far as technology goes, I was immediately struck with how this historical little library is everything that a library should be and then some. The staff were incredibly nice and pleasant, very helpful, and the bathrooms were both very clean (go downstairs to the children's restroom, they have a Harry Potter switchplate on the light switch). Very cool little library with a history, if you're in the area you should go. You know, pick up a book and read it instead of being on FaceBook or Instagram. Or instead of just an eBook. Thumb through some actual pages. I've never seen a more interactive and interesting looking children's section in a library.
