I stopped by the Raymond Library in East Hartford, since I was in the area. I wanted to pick up…read moresome new reading material for my self. This building is impressive, it looks like it might have been a museum in its old life. I walked inside, and this is where they have their new arrivals, as well as periodicals and newspapers. There are two comfy chairs in this area. There was a "respectful flag disposal" here. It's a nicer looking cardboard box, with a print of the American flag on it. This is the first time I've noticed this. I'm not sure if all libraries have them, but it makes sense. It's good to make others aware of proper ways to dispose of a flag. The computer area was pretty full of users. I couldn't find a place to sit, that's not by the computers. There was some beautiful artwork displayed, that was done by high school seniors. The books were spread out across two floors. The children's area had some clay work from elementary school on display as well as some other artwork. There were puzzles, games and a ton of books for the youngest readers. They even had some guide books for parents dealing with various difficulties in parenthood.

Go down Central Avenue for the parking lot, there seems to be ample space. The library itself is clean, devoted to Connecticut's aviation history, and have rows of books with seasonal decor. A book mobile was even parked in the back!

A historically beautiful structure that houses Connecticut's Supreme Court and the state library,…read morelocated in the Capitol area of Hartford. This would be a great place to learn and view some of the historical pieces that defines the state of Connecticut. You can also sit in a Supreme Court hearing and take the tour of the state library, which contains state and federal legal publications dating way back to the late 19th century. The state library is open to the public and has wifi and outlets, so you can definitely use the space to bring your laptop/tablet and do some work. Great place for school groups to take a trip to, or even for families looking for something educational to do.
