Shute Memorial Library

This library is VERY GOOD forget 5 stars, they get 10, no wait 11! The staff is very kind and patient, and very few people come, so it's nice and quiet. It's very warm when you come in, and there is no street noise! And I love their holiday decorations They are so cute and funny. :)

Of all the pandemic related casualties, restaurants, cafes, movie theaters, I might miss public libraries the most. Don't get me wrong, I understand trying to contain the spread of COVID, but libraries are repositories more reliable than the internet. I hope that when things return to normal, so will our beloved libraries! #RememberingMemorial

A lot of programs for kids and teens. Not overcrowded at all. All librarians I talked with were very polite and helpful. It is part of NOBLE libraries network, so you can order books from other 17 "north of Boston" libraries and 10 college libraries. Adult library is nice and quiet, except for squeaky floors. I have more experience with children library - everything seems to be brand new: books, computers. Clean. One suggestion to improve - add more toys for toddlers/preschoolders, like puzzles, trains, etc.

Quiet and always able to get what I need done with no problems. Been going there for years the staff is the best. They go above and beyond.

The library is great. While it isn't really open right now, you can pick up books, dvds and video games by calling or emailing the library and requesting the items. They put your items in the entryway for a contactless pickup.
