At first I didn't know where the assessor office was so I drove over here and of course, there it was. Probably only downside for me is a lot of stuff is still paper instead of electronic.

We are four rocks away from the end of our journey at this time. Not only do we learn about the military involvement and the contributions of veterans in each county, but a lot of times we stumble on other hidden gems, that we had no idea even existed, as we venture further into our own backyard. As happy as I am going to be when hit 99 and finish our Freedom Rock Tour...a little part of me is going to really miss these trips. We'll just have to find another "tour" to pick up.

It's located right off Main Street, and has plenty of parking, plenty of tables, free wifi, and lots of books. There's plenty of natural lighting in this place, as it's covered with windows. It makes for a relaxing place to get out a book and read for a spell. My favorite thing was the geneaological area that they're keeping. They have old obituaries, family trees, and newspaper articles about old family names, maps of old plats of land, and all sorts of stuff to look up historical facts. Kudos to whoever is keeping up those files. The library also offers a kids section, where they can even sort of play and read by the window without disturbing the patrons. It's not the quietest of libraries, but it offers so many features that are great benefits to the community. The library offers all kinds of public classes, speeches, clubs and meetings here. This is a great place! Fairfield was one of the first recipients (if not THE first) of the Carnegie Library fund to build libraries in rural areas. The Carnegie Library is now a museum and located just a few blocks away, which is quite apt.

I am a lover of libraries, and having recently moved here from Cambridge, Massachusetts, I have…read morebeen so happy to discover the Fairfield Public Library. They seem to be able to find me any book I'm looking for, if not in-house then through interlibrary loans. I am quite busy with my work right now, but I'm so looking forward to participating in some of the writing programs that are held here. I make frequent use of the public Wi-Fi and study rooms. This is a godsend to me. It's a very pleasant and beautiful setting. It's a joy to spend time at the library. I also appreciate that there are so many tables and internet spaces, a copying machine, and a lot of very good books. Someone has been very selective that for a relatively small library (compared to a big city), it has a wonderful selection of books. I also love the books for sale and the book sales. There are many special features and programs for the community as well. The staff is beyond wonderful. It's a great perk to living in Fairfield, just knowing the library is here and I love going here as much as I can. I agree that the library seems like a community meeting space. It's a wonderful place to spend time reading, researching, looking at magazines (a wonderful collection) and books. I feel so lucky to have this library available to me.
