The librarians are very informative as well. The bathrooms are pretty accessible and it has a changing table that you can use specially with little babies for diaper change.

My favorite features: - friendly people always pick up the phone to help you reserve museum passes or answer questions - great playroom for little kids (1-4) which is open whenever there isn't a program running - nice sitting space for working remotely - outdoor seating - bluebikes location outside The books are not laid out in a super inviting way, but if you know what you want, you should be able to find it or reserve it from someone else in the network.

In addition to the great programming, the folks who work there are really nice and helpful. I love this place!

As someone who loves reading, this library was honestly a dream! The interior is absolutely…read morebeautiful and spacious, with so many different areas to sit down and study or read. I could easily see myself spending hours here if I lived in Boston lol. One thing that really stood out to me was the children's section. There were so many families visiting that they even had what looked like a stroller parking lot right in the middle of the room! What impressed me the most though was how well the noise was contained. Despite how loud and lively it was inside the children's area, you could barely hear anything as soon as you stepped outside, even with people constantly going in and out. I've never seen anything quite like this at other libraries and thought it was such a thoughtful design! It allows kids to enjoy their own space while everyone else can still have the peace and quiet you'd normally expect from a library.

We came here on a Sunday to visit the Courtyard Tea Room for their Sunday Brunch Tea. They don't…read moreopen until 11AM, which is fine, but it was pouring and windy due to the Nor'easter that was occurring and perhaps in that situation, they should open slightly early to allow those with reservations access to wait inside. Only other gripe - The amount of homeless people walking through, using the restroom to dry off, etc was ridiculous. I get this is a liberal city, but there are many tourists from all over the world and they shouldn't be subjected to the dirty restrooms, those shaking their wet trash bags onto others, etc. There was security up front where you enter, they should monitor a little better. Aside from those issues - The library's architecture was beautiful! Spacious and grand with lots of mosaic and beautiful stone, like marble work throughout. It's a very nice building with a gorgeous courtyard worth visiting when the weather is nice.

The Shite Library is in an amazing facility for being on Broadway Everett. The exterior of the…read morebuilding looks old but then new you just have to see it to understand. Has multiple entrances and they're all directly on the sidewalk pretty much. I like to walk in the entrance all the way to the left once entered if you go to the right, you'll be in the children's area or if you go up the stairs that are directly in front of you, then go through the arches reach out what I believe to be historical big wooden doorways fabulous and you are in the main library this floor also houses the computer section I believe they have 8 or 10 computers. This library is fully staffed on both levels. I usually view 4 to 5 librarians at a time. The library is extremely clean and well organized. There are many different sitting areas which you can enjoy to flip through a book or listen to videos, etc. this is definitely a local library as there is no parking lot that I know of. Next time I am there I will inquire to see if there was one behind the building. I entered from Broadway on all trips so I did not see one. The book selection seems to be fabulous as does tech options.

Shute Library is located near Glendale Square. It one of two libraries in Everett, while it not as…read moremodern as the Parlin library it does have some nice features. The hours it's open have improved. I have found that the internet here is fast, faster then mine or a coffee shop wi-fi (and you don't have to buy anything). The seating options are not fancy give you space to work, If I could I would add more power outlets (and put them is better locations) but hey it's an older building. They have children's area down stairs, where the bathroom is. You use the same library card you use at Parlin library. If you go around the time high school lets out, some of the teenagers can be a little loud and rowdy but if it bothers me I have headphones. Also I sit on the on the side of the library farthest from the bank of public computers, which is less busy.

They're so so helpful when speaking with my kids about what to read next, listening to their likes and dislikes and always finding something new for them. The after school programming is also a pleasant plus! My teen enjoys their crafts, and I'm happy it's someplace she can walk to after school for something a little different. For myself, I love their Libby app. It's stocked with so many audiobooks which I read in the car, on walks, and around the house. I'm so grateful for our library - both the building and the programming they offer!

When I was very young we used to gather in a circle in the library and would read to us that would be grades kindergarten through second we used to walk down as groups from my neighborhood just for the readings it was very exciting back then I wish more people read now I pray for future Generations. Glad to know the library is still open and going strong. Also notice the fabulous architecture it hasn't changed in 40 years although it's much much older than that. Many many many things have changed in Chelsea, but I'm very glad to see that the City Hall in public library have stayed the same.

Customer service is five stars from the head librarian!…read more I walked in here one day, new to Chelsea and wanted to see my new library. The librarian immediately greeted me and welcomed me. He asked where I was from, how I got here, what I was looking for, etc. He told me he has been here for 30+ years and can answer about any question. He gave me a "tour" of the library, showing me where the computers, fiction, non-fiction, magazines, and movies were all located. The building itself is a circular shape which makes it odd for storing books. However, he assured me if they don't have it where I can find it, simply ask. They can also get anything from the Boston Public library circulation too, which is very helpful. I came in a second time several weeks later and the librarian greeted me and welcomed me back. The staff make it very easy for you to find what you need. I have not spent a ton of time here but did see people utilizing the computers and reading areas. I think it's a great part of the community--free for all! Check out their facebook too for special programming if you have kids!

I stopped by here just to print something and I was awe struck by the architecture and uniqueness. Also they had some rare non fiction stuff which is what I read mostly. I also noticed it's ADA accessible In some areas. There are chair lifts etc. Check out these pictures,it's like an awesome museum. I cannot believe I've been living and working in this area the past 15 years and never heard about it!

From what I saw, they also seem to have a lot going on, especially for kids, with reading events and activities. I also noticed they offer volunteer opportunities for teens, which I think is really nice. My only recommendation would be to renew the elevator inspection. Other than that, it was a quick and easy visit, and I'd definitely come back if I need to print anything again!
