Bristol Public Library

Bristol library first opened in 1892; it moved to another location in 1896. Then, in 1907, a colonial revival style building was built for the growing library. Renovations were done throughout the years and even an addition in 2006. The library is architecturally beautiful. There were plenty of parking. It was large, organized, and quiet. We went to the children's section and it was massive. There was a class going on for the kids. I noticed it's more catered to elementary/middle school kids. There was a small preschool section, but there was only a play kitchen with no accessories for it; toy pots and pans, toy food etc. They had a sensory board wall and some play costumes. They had a fish tank and so many fun decorations. The library is a great resource; they offer free and discounted

This is a beautiful library that helps you step back, relax, and be present while you read or work. Plenty of study room and a wonderful selection of books. They really keep their new release areas stocked!

Very clean, friendly staff and great atmosphere. I would recommend taking your children here.

This is a wonderful library. I don't ever visit enough.😁 They have a lovely selection of new releases both fiction and non fiction. Their movie selection is quite sound by including documentaries and nonfiction DVDs. Music collection is alright. The children's area is sure to pique your little one's interest. Many services exist including exercise and computer classes, coloring clubs, musical performances, etc. It's a beautiful asset of Bristol. The library is a magical and special place. Thank you for this one. 😃💝
