I visited some libraries a week or two ago to see what they were like. Here is what I found.
1) Berlin, NY
A nice cute little library with character; it has a one-room-schoolhouse shape and carpentry wood built look. There is a tiny second floor loft that overlooks the first floor. It would be a nice place to cuddle up with a book for an hour in the afternoon.
2) Petersburgh, NY
The building was boxish and old-looking. Not very big, but seemed to have a decent DVD selection. Several people were there asking after DVDs. This library is hard to see from the road. I found it accidentally when I pulled into the town hall parking lot to check my bearings. It was next to the town hall which is obvious from the road.
3) Brunswick, NY
Now here’s a library that is easy to find. Off by itself in a wide, neatly-paved parking lot, the building looks clean, modern, and well-lit. This library is just a bit bigger than the others I visited on the same day. It has a nice kids section with lots of goodies: yarn and knitting kits, ‘how to’s, prominent books about girl adventurers, dear America books, encyclopedias, crayons, and round colorful pads for little kids sit on. I would love to visit this place with a kid in tow.
