Licia & Mason Beekley Community Library

In 1906, New Hartford's Licia & Mason Beekley Community Library was founded. The building it's in now, opened in 1996. The building is really pretty and reminded me of a house. Inside was pristine and had its own unique look to it. The librarians were helpful and friendly. It's been a goal of mine to visit as many libraries as possible. Since CT is currently doing the Passport to Libraries event, it's been a great incentive to visit as many libraries as possible. There were plenty of parking and it wasn't busy on a weekday. We explored the children's room because at every library, that's where we tend to stay the longest. There were plenty of toys, train set, tool set, books, stuffed animals, and an art table. If you've got kids, I highly recommend it. Every Thursday, they have storytime a

22 year resident. The Beekley Library is proof that a small town can have a great public library.

A beautiful library and public space. We are grateful for how community minded the staff and programming is. Thank you!

Great library! They have plenty of books and reading space.

Great place for kids!
