Baxter Memorial Library

I go to this library a lot to study and write papers for school. It’s nice and quite. There is always room for me to spread my books and laptop out. The only reason why I am not giving them five stars is their hours. I wish that they had better hours.

The Baxter Memorial Library was built back in 1908 and was a gift of James Baxter. Like many of the libraries built around that time it was an elegant building. The exterior is construction of pink granite and the inside is mostly red oak.
The library was quite lovely but also quite small. Finally in 2003 the town got enough money to build a huge addition that more than doubles the size of the original structure.
The Baxter Library is a very modern and convenient but still has a historic touch to it. Lots of cool old paintings of cool old people and some antiques and huge grandfather clocks scattered around.
Lot of practical places to sit and work in the new section and cozy and comfy places in the original part. Plenty of space to find a nice spot and spread out.
Like virtually every library in this part of the country the Baxter Library has free wifi. The difference is that this wifi works very well. The librarians were met were very friendly and willing to give up any information that we asked about.
A pleasant town library that manages to move ahead into the future without sacrificing the past.
