Everything you would want in a library is available: books, study areas, sitting spaces, computers, internet access, and more importantly, an on-staff social worker.

Located in the town center of Shrewsbury, this newly renovated and redesigned library has a very…read morewelcoming floor plan. The 1903 original library building is blended seamlessly with the newer structure. As you enter, there are many wide open spaces to sit and read throughout the library. For the children, there is a large children section which has a lot of fun animal characters. We were visiting in the winter so the outdoor area was closed but it did look very nice. The parking lot is good but I would imagine that it would always be great to have more parking. Finally, the book self-check-out system is definitely state of the art and there is an electronic drop of book drop off at the main entrance. The architect, Michael Pagano, and the entire library team did an amazing job with this new town community hub. Don't miss the "Let your quest be for knowledge" inscription on the stained glass in the 2nd Floor staircase of the original 1903 Library building.

This is so helpful because my husband constantly forgets when he gets emails saying his requests are in. The library is old and elegant, and cozy. It was one of the last libraries to transition over from a full-service library where the librarian pulls all the books for the patrons to the standard library like you see anywhere else (the 1990s I think?) and you can tell because they shelves are the old locking kind. They are definitely not up to date with the latest and greatest when it comes to their printing capabilities, but their new interim librarian, Rebecca, is working on it.

It has changed quite a bit throughout the years, but for the better…read more This is a great historical spot, with many pieces of the town and such throughout the building. There has been quite a few building upgrades which were much needed. They were also done without affecting the beautiful stone exterior and the old windows of the building. Inside is cozy and unique. There are three floors. You walk in the main entrance to the adult and sections on both sides. There is a balcony above where many more books are located. If you go downstairs, there is a great children's section. The staff is all very sweet and accommodating. They are all there to help and are great with recommendations or with locating material. They do many activities and meetings in this building. They also have passes available for local museums and parks. There was a major technology upgrade as well. Gone are the days of the massive card catalog with the lengthy drawers of cards stating the location and reference information of the books. There are now several laptops you can borrow for the sitting area or look up and get your book checked out all via computer programs. It's a great spot to bring a coffee in and browse or read for hours. Love this little place. Ps- it also doesn't get crazy crowded and there doesn't seem to be many unwanted visitors that pass through here.

Love this library! They have so much available to adults and children whether it's a book club or…read moretoddler story time. With COVID putting a damper on a lot of things they still offer free craft packets- every Monday for the little's! They also made getting a new library card extremely easy and we're just so friendly and pleasant. I also go here often to print shipping labels and at 10 cents per piece of black and white paper- you can't really beat that! They also still decorate by season and the way the books are grouped- makes it extremely easy! I really just enjoy this library- the overall setup and the very friendly staff! Definitely a place we will be frequenting on the regular!

I visited this library for the first time in many years. I moved out of town along time ago and I…read moreused to come here when my kids were little and it was really nice. My girlfriend still lives in town and she invited me to go to a wreath making class with her. I went and it was so nice. It was free which was surprising and then they also supplied you with wire and they made a bow for me and it was really nice. I brought two big bags of greens from the back of my house because I am not very crafty and didn't know how much I would use but I used a fraction of what I brought. Fortunately we were able to share with each other so I picked out a few other greens that someone had brought and I donated all of mine. The class was fun and the people they were delightful. What a nice place in the community.

The Morse library is a great institution in the center of Natick. I routinely come here with my…read moredaughter to read books, do puzzles, or play with the toy kitchen or the wooden train. I also sometimes works from the library. There are little quiet nooks next to windows which are ideal for quiet concentrated work. The WiFi is reliable and fast enough, the bathrooms are clean, and there are water fountains. I also often borrow books, either physical or digital copies. The Minuteman Library Network has a ton of books and they will ship them to your library of choice. There are still more things that I haven't yet tried: 3D printing, classes and events, and reserving rooms for my meetings. Finally I have found the staff to be very knowledgeable and pleasant to interact with.

Great library! Very nice staff, has an old school charm without being depressing (like the…read moreFramingham Library) and lots of easy-to-book study rooms. Note, the study rooms are NOT sound proof. I did not realize this and booked one to take meetings on zoom, and was promptly asked to keep my voice down. Oops. Tons of tables around the library to set up and work in addition to the private study rooms. The only drawback is metered street parking only.

A lot more than books…read more The very first idea for a library in North Library Woodstock started back in 1854. However they was really no place to put the books so the idea of a library came and went. Finally in 1944 a room in a local church was designated as the official library and the books were unceremoniously shoved in it. That served for a few years until in 1950 an old school house that was built 1843 was handed over to the library association. The old school house was cool and quaint and still serves as the library today. Forgot about the books, this is a cool place to visit just to check out the building. You can still see the old blackboard hanging on the wall, the scorched marks on the floor from the old wood stove, the coat room where the kids hung their coats and even an old desk. Of course the old school didn't have indoor plumbing so the old out house is still in the back. In fact the library didn't get indoor facilities until the 1970's so that old crapper was in use until fairly recently. The very nice librarian was friendly and funny and gave us a grand tour of her library. Another one of these small town librarians that knows she works in a unique and amazing library so she can be real cool about it. A building that does indeed serve as a library but also as a window to the past. Old, quaint, historic and with a very, very cool librarian. This is a library that is difficult to find but worth the effort. You even get to see an old out house.

Nestled in the backend of Seekonk this library literally has everything my nerdy self needs…read more I like that it's all one level and that it has scenic walking paths adjacent to the main building. It also has a decent sized parking lot which I appreciate even more now because my other local libraries in my state have little to no parking. They completed renovations in the past few years which make everything even more accessible. it's one of the few local libraries that has an innovation center. they have equipment that allows you to convert VHS tapes and they also have a 3D printer that is cost affordable to use. My only complaint is that I'm charged a dual state membership fee to still be a member. though the annual fee is burdensome it's worth it in the end.
