Old Town Public Library

I'm not local, I just like visiting libraries, and Old Town's library is very nice! It has plenty of seating options for solo or groups, cool shelving with unique lighting, the classic community puzzle, and "Library of Things". There are beautiful paintings, quilts, and other interesting art all around the library. Definitely recommended visiting for anyone wanting a place to read, to use the computer, or looking into other resources they offer!

They've been so sweet th

Maybe I'm biased, I can't think of any library I wouldn't give 5 stars. Many libraries now offer audio books, DVDs and video games and even periodicals (magazines and newspapers). If you're reading this right now remind yourself that some books are not that much longer than this review.

We were in Maine looking for information about the Penobscot Indians. The 3 librarians listened to us and went and retrieved documents they were aware of. They were so very helpful. Thank you! Paul Smith Burlington, Iowa
