The only thing I could think of was a fast food restaurant or a maybe a library. I check the GPS and lo and behold the Newbury Public Library is just up the road.

So to the staff and administration of the Newbury Public Library, thank you! Your library was a beacon of sophistication and connection on a cold, dark night where communication was otherwise, surprisingly difficult.

(Why isn't Harvard included?) * Current Periodicals Room: Over 1,000 current issues of science, social science, humanities, & general interest journals. * Evans Map Room: No excuses for bare walls!! * Jones Media Center: My source of entertainment between partying... I mean, studying. Boasts over 5,000 videotapes and 1,000 DVDs. * Book Arts Workshop: The outlet for my creative juices between partying... I mean, studying. * The Tower Room: Dim lights, dark wood & leather seats - Study in classic New England elegance. (Between partying.) * Novak Cafe: Where to grab a quick bite. (On my way to partying.) I want to give Baker Berry 10 stars, but the blitz terminals aren't sanitized frequently enough (at all??) & operating hours should extend to midnight at least. How many times did I try to return my Animal House & Sports Night DVDs en route to frat row, only to be denied?! ...I mean, where am I supposed to study at 11:30 on a Friday night?? Maybe I need a copy of Heidegger's Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics & maybe I need it at a half past 11!

My friend goes to Dartmouth and gave me a tour of this main building on Campus. I was not expecting the building to be very different inside.

They also have a side room that's in memory of Dr. Seuss, who was an alumni at Dartmouth.

The staff is highly trained, a new director whose aim is to enhance the library's role in the community, and an elected Board of Directors who are residents and neighbors. Truly a magnificent place.

I've never seen a library with so few books. The fiction is mostly old and not much of a selection…read more Non-fiction is a couple of shelves. So if your interested in social sciences, cooking, anything academic your out of luck. The children's section is decent, but that's about it. It's not a welcoming space. I'm perplexed that the library is so disappointing. Hanover has money. This is a small town, so the library is an important part of the community. The fact the main library is the same level as a branch, not a decent one, is just depressing. Go to Lebanon if you want a nice library.
