That said, if that's the worst thing about the library, that's pretty damn good. I hadn't been to the Henrietta branch since before they moved into their current building, but was I ever impressed! The new building is spacious and has plenty of seating. There's a big meeting room right by the entrance, where I've early voted, so there's lots of room to spread out. In spite of the collection feeling a little older, you know what's really great? No hold fees! I think we're going to see more and more branches do away with hold fees in the future, which helps make reserving materials that much easier. I have found some hidden gems sprinkled throughout the shelves. I think the key here is that the library can only do so much work for you, you have to also put in the effort to find what you never realized you wanted in the first place. I've found a bunch of random books this way. Being a larger branch in a town the size that Henrietta is, the library has good hours, including on Saturdays. I get why some branches are hardly ever open, having some weekend availability is just a nice bonus. I'm glad the town of Henrietta has a library like the one they have. I'll definitely be back (being the library hopper that I am, this was a given). Now if only I could reach the book drop from my car without straining my arms!

Possibly my fav public library around. It's new, bright, clean, and amazing for children. The front…read morefoyer is tall, generously bright, and inviting. The first floor is one of the best places a parent can bring their child. I've never seen a whole floor dedicated to children before!! Most other libraries just have a small section and feel darker and older. There's story time at 10 am everyday. There's a lot of toys and books for toddlers and babies to wear out their energy for an hour or so. The upstairs section is also very nice for adults with a room to rent and also plenty of shelves. Staff are nice and there's a little book store selling hard copies for 1$ and soft cover for 0.25. I tend to buy those for vacations so I won't feel bad losing a book. The bright modern interior also makes one want to stay here and read or spend a day. The books are all in really condition too. Very few old musty books. The library is also right by the park with a large playground and field My only thing I dont love is that the adult section books are organized in a confusing way. I usually reserve books online bc browsing for a specific author may not be intuitive since the shelves have mystery, fiction, romance, etc designations.

They have a great little play area for kids, too, so our weekly visit has turned into a several times a week visit to play and find new books and DVDs to borrow, and the librarians remember us. They're all super helpful and friendly. My little boy loves coming here. My only wish is that they would host a monthly (or weekly!! Daily?? ;)) sensory playtime like some libraries do occasionally. We love the community feel here though, and can't imagine not coming here now that we've started.

You get the charm of the original building paired with the modern beauty of the Bausch & Lomb structure both are worth seeing. The library offers a ton of programs for kids, teens, and adults. Definitely check their website, because there's so much going on. Becoming a cardholder is easy, and once you are, make sure you look into their VIP section, you can snag free or discounted tickets to local attractions. You can check out physical books, audiobooks, and ebooks, and they're great if you need computer access or printing. They also have plenty of study areas and quiet spots to get work done. Honestly, they offer more than most people realize (myself included until recently!). The only downside is parking and it can be a bit tricky. I'm not sure if they validate or offer any vouchers, so it's worth asking. I was lucky enough to find street parking... but yes, you do have to pay. A great library with so much to offer. Highly recommend exploring everything they provide.

The study rooms look out at the canal, providing a beautiful view. There's also a "reading garden" which is a cute little courtyard if patrons want to read or study in the sun. The librarians are all very nice and helpful, of course. I also enjoy participating in the summer reading program, since they have a program for any age group.

It's spacious, with a large hallway when you walk in displaying many used books for sale, as well as a free shelf. The "bookstore" is self serve with a cash box, and most I saw were priced at $1. Staff was friendly and helped me locate a book for my book club. This is an impressive looking library with 2 floors and big, sunny windows. If I had more time, it would have been a great place to spend an afternoon. I believe there is also an outdoor deck, but doubt that gets much traffic in January!

On top of that check out the events on their website or social media, they have so many free activities for adults and kids alike, from art activities to movie nights to so many more.

Sometimes, when I walk in, I still see the old layout from before the 90s era renovation, which tells you how much time I spent here. But I'd still do it in a minute. It was in the children's space where I truly became a reader. I'm happy to report that the children's space is still as magical as it was upwards of 30 years ago. I still like looking around for the newest in so-called juvenile fiction (which can be more daring and brave than "adult" fiction, but that's a rant for another day). At one time, BML had a book with a plate in it celebrating my completion of the summer reading program, and I made a point to check it out to keep its circulation statistics boosted. Alas, that book has since been weeded out, but a picture of a bookplate is forever. Brighton's collection is decent sized, definitely one of the larger ones in the area. When you walk in, new releases are in the room to your right. What I really like is the shelf near the entrance featuring award winners, popular titles, and things you may have missed the first time around. It's a great way to find something new. There are plenty of tables to get work done at, and small study rooms are available. A good library should have a mix of quiet and a low roar, and BML has that in droves. I will continue to utilize Brighton Memorial Library for as long as I am able to. In a world full of ebooks, sometimes you just need a physical copy, and there's nothing like going to your childhood library to grab a book.
