Could spend days there rotating through different study spots Even has an art gallery upstairs with rotating exhibits! Also upstairs is an audio area to listen to vinyl (and extensive collection of vinyls). Lots of outlets in each workspace area. Very clean, plenty of windows for natural light. The bottom floor has a cafe with a lot of food options. You can only eat in the cafe area, but the options are so diverse (sandwiches, pizza, nuggets, small frittatas) and coffee is very cheap as well. Even the cafe area has a section of outlets. Multiple self check-out desks, both on bottom floor near the cafe and on the main floor. Also several help desk stations (bottom floor, two on main floor, and on top floor). My happy place. Makes studying more bearable.

I can't even put into words how incredibly gorgeous, beautiful, spectacular it is. Really must go for yourself to see it!

The New Canaan library is currently in flux. It's clearly been expanded on at least once, and…read morethey're currently in process of building a whole new building. There is public parking behind, but the construction makes it challenging to get to. There is street parking, and if you're terrible at it like me, you may circle the block a few times. Inside they have a display so you can see what the future building will look like. They also have their regular children's and adults sections. The new building should be open in 2023, and looks like it will definitely be worth a visit!

The Croton Library is close to our usual NY stomping grounds, but we hadn't been, so we took one weekday afternoon to check it out. I'm very glad we did, since I think this is now my favorite library in New York, and definitely on the Top Five list period! The library looks small on the outside, but don't be fooled by its commonplace appearance. While it may lack the grandeur of others of its kin, step inside, and you'll see a gorgeous space with an ample children's section, hundreds of DVDs and audiobooks, and shelves upon shelves of adult fiction and nonfiction sections. You could easily spend all day just browsing the stacks - never mind even getting around to reading! I was especially delighted to come across a hard to find book about the making of Pulp Fiction, and enjoyed getting lost in the world of Tarantino while I sat in one of the comfy chairs they have for reading! Shout out to library page extraordinaire, Julian, for his impeccable customer service and helpful friendliness when we had a zillion questions about random and obscure books. As other reviewers have said - there's not enough good things to say about this library! Truly awesome!

At 2:28 I was told I'd need to leave by 2:30 "for the high schoolers" (school gets out after 2:35). No problem, just had to wrap up a quick call for five minutes, and was re-approached by 2:32 because apparently the need to leave was THAT urgent (no signs or anything indicating that this is a legit rule). There were still 0 other people in the entire space. I'm seeing many other reviews about being treated poorly by librarians and I'm unsurprised. Avoid it here at all costs and go to Harrison. Librarians here are on a weird power trip.
