I can sit with my baby and decide how much I want him to play with other babies and decided to let him put the library toys in his mouth (he's gotta build up his immune system). The story time is great and she does an excellent job engaging the babies, singing songs, and ending with bubbles before bringing out the toys! My baby enjoys crawling around, playing with new toys, and watching other babies and even parents. So grateful for the library putting this together every week! I always find parking too and it's in a great location. The downtown library has a lot of events but driving there is a hassle.

It is of course much smaller than the downtown branch, and with much fewer…read moreactivities/classes/events (though I'll admit I likely am not aware of all that the Pittsfield branch has to offer). I really enjoy the convenience of the Request books for pick up option, as they'll transport books/media that you would like to check out from other branches to this one (or any of them of your choosing). That is my most common use of the Pittsfield branch - picking up requests off the hold shelf and returning books. Plenty of convenient parking, free wifi, book/media return options inside and outside the building (so you can make returns at any time). A nice reading room, various bookable rooms, and some tables throughout to read, study, or work from. May not be the quietest place to work from if you have a lot of calls/video meetings. I also found out today that you can print up to 30 pages a day for free, and can print off your mobile device (connected to their WiFi and selecting their printers). Pretty cool! (Especially nice to know since my printer at home just apparently stopped working.)

I'm peeved at myself for not spending more time here but in a perfect world, at least once a week,…read moreI would come and sit in the new arrivals of the periodicals section, lounge out on the couches, and flip through the magazines for at least a couple hours, sipping on some tea or coffee from the little 'cafe' downstairs. This library has mixed spatial identities so it is up to you to find your nook. There are a variety of group areas versus quiet solo spaces versus my aforementioned favorite, the periodicals section in the atrium. It is a GIANT atrium and I love how the pleasant low hum of people talking throughout the building is softly absorbed by the silence of books. Of course the selection of books is astounding (one thing U of M has going for it) though a good deal of them are in the basement which is, let's just call it like it is, ugly as sin and depressing. The library also has a bunch of adjoining little "centers," one of which is this phenomenal media suite for editing, transferring, and doing whatever you want to whatever media you want. There is also a full-blown recording studio free for students to use. Damn you PhD for taking away all my time, energy, and creativity because otherwise, I'd be a rock star filmmaker by now. There's also a video game archive as well as special collections that has some crazy old architecture books like you wouldn't believe. Open 24-hours with plenty of computers. If you like artsy fartsy materials, this is your place.

As a graduate from Chelsea High School and now a taxpayer living in the City of Chelsea I'm…read moredisappointed (to say the least) that you have decided against banning this pedophile from OUR library. Instead, you choose to spend your resources on making residents go to all ends proving that they are indeed residents of the City of Chelsea. Case in point, I had a sticker with a change of address fall off of my driver's license and I had to go to the Secretary of State to get a new one so I could continue checking out materials. If you can put this much time and effort into making sure I'm a resident then I'm pretty sure you can make sure this guy never steps foot in OUR library!

Good preschool storytime. Most of the storytimes require pre-registration, but there are some…read moredrop-in times as well. There are separate kids & teens areas --- the kids get lots of low tables, a puppet theatre, trucks, etc, and the teens get large round booths for that Denny's-is-always-open feel. The library's sited on a hill overlooking Mill Creek and close to the traintracks --- a passing Amtrak made the day for a gaggle of toddlers. There are plenty of large windows for watching both sights, this is a nice place to sit and read a book. There's a quiet reading room with a gas fireplace. The staff is friendly, but less knowledgeable than some other libraries --- asking how to sign up for storytime stumped several people before we found the answer. Definitely an impressive small-town library.
