Okay, this is an old library and the building is showing its age but the collection is great for a small library and the staff is totally helpful. There are great Internet-connected computers, too. It’s a little crowded and I know that the town is actively looking for a new site to build a larger library.

Love of reading and lifetime learning. The Putnam Library is a small library in a small town. As far as I can tell it was built in 1955 and is not one of the grand and historic ones frequently found in New England. But if definitely is a nice library, The staff here were very friendly and gracious and were a great source of information. They could tell you just about everything you could possible want to know about the library and the Putnam area. Librarians like this are a treasure, a resource that is inreplaceable . The library itself is pleasant with plenty of places of sit and lovely ceiling and windows. Plenty of computers and the usually library stuff. Not a stunning grand old library but a practical and useful place. Definitely not a place that will shock you with it’s elegance and aesthetic wonders. But a pleasant and useful place to find a book and perhaps do some research.

I like this place and now I am having to go here since I am living in Putnam. But they have nice staff and a nice selection of books and theres never really a line to use the computers. Also the internet speed is decent.
