Windsor Public Library came into fruition in 1888. It opened to the public in 1889; in 1901, it…read moremoved to a new location. The location was home to a General and it was originally built in 1777. It's a large and beautiful library with plenty of parking. My children and I explored the ginormous children's room. There was a computer area, a train table, a puppet area, a toy kitchen, blocks, and games. There were plenty of places to sit. I love that they have self checkouts. The librarians were friendly. I've said it before and I'll say it again and again; the library is a great resource! It has events, programs, museum passes, and more. My children and I are library fans. Overall, it's definitely up there with one of my favorite libraries.

I love this library because they have a lot of books that I like to read as well as cool events…read morelike art exhibits and book sales. The biggest pro is that they have an ongoing bookstore inside the library that the Friends Of The Library own and they're open on Tuesdays and Saturday mornings. There's also a free book section in the lobby as well. There's some cool monthly book displays as well as self-checkout station, scanner, chairs to sit, computers, clipping seed display and many more. There's also a really nice Children's room. The librarians are really nice people and they're helpful. The library services are exceptional.

Honestly the most surprising part was how few people were there!!! But it's about 1:30pm on a Thursday and so maybe that's why? Not sure!! Would absolutely be back when I'm in the area!

The Patriots of Windsor memorial is on the Village Green set just behind Broad Street…read more It's directly across from the library and is easily visible from Broad Street. The statue is a large bronze eagle with outstretched wings, set on a stone base. It bears a rather short inscription, "To The Patriots Of Windsor". It was sculpted by Evelyn Beatrice Longman and was dedicated on November 3, 1929. It's listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Every year in early December the library has a Gingerbread House Festival with approximately 150…read morehouses on display, open to the public. Raffle tickets are sold for the houses and or scenes created as well as other items donated by local stores and businesses. The museum uses this as one of several fund raising events throughout the year. At the close of the event, raffle winners can pick up their items in plenty of time to feature them at home as part of their Christimas seasonal decorations. 2024 is the 14th year of this tradition; it is well worth a perusal as the quality of the displays are exceptional. Stop by and make this an annual Christmas event for you and your family.

I believe this is the only library in all of New England to hold a festival of gingerbread houses. It's one of the largest Gingerbread House Festivals in New England. In addition, they have an impressive permanent bird / natural animal collection as well! I love this historic library for reasons I think make it a special place to visit. You don't have to be from South Windsor to step foot inside to browse valuable treasures. That's one unique library for the community.

Not a patron, but I found myself in this library. It's tucked behind the busy roads of West…read moreHartford, and is pretty roomy. One side has a children's book, the other has a senior center, and adult books are everywhere. There are public restrooms as well by the entrance. Really well organized with lots of places to read or carrols to study in.

I used to frequent the library at Bishop's Corner around 2-3 times a week when I was in high…read moreschool. In the recent years, I haven't been as loyal. Occasionally I'll stop by when I have a book in mind that I'd like to check out. The Bishop's Corner Library is a branch of West Hartford Public Library. This is the smallest of the three libraries in town. Despite being small, there's everything here. A smaller library is so much easier to navigate. The books are well categorized, whether they're biographies, fiction or new releases. They have a quiet study area on the opposite end of the library from where the children's play area is. They have books for every child's interest. There's also computers that are marked by child's age. I stopped by the library for a specific book. It was in the new releases. It's actually a book that was released just a few months ago. And they had it at the library. You can check out with a librarian or at the self checkout. The checkout is very easy to use if you have your library card on hand. I have been going to this library for many years, I will continue to do so for many more.

There is plenty of space between stacks of books for accessibility on all levels! The community room is large and the acoustics are great for musical performances and speakers! Many great daily weekly and monthly events are planned!

Best staff imaginable. Feel sorry for them and the working conditions they have. Ugly building…read moreinside and outside. Very poor use of space inside -- adults have to go upstairs to find books while a good part of main floor has very little going on. Not at all accessible for handicap people -- two spaces in front, but no curb cut and railing does not go all the way to door. Parking space under library not at all close to front desk. No drop off for returning books at front of building. Need a shuttlebus to get from main parking lot to front desk. In my opinion, it is the worst library within a 10 mile radius. Such a sorry waste of taxpayers money. Susie H.

On this visit I selected a journal and then I checked out the sale books up front. I picked up a hardcover coffee table book about Paris. It immediately made me smile so I knew I just had to have it.

It is a lovely place to spend some time, grab a cup of coffee and find some treasures to bring home.

I am a nursing major here, and I am amazed at the knowledge of the professors and how willing to help they are. There are so many resources for assistance if needed & it's great to know people care about you at school. I highly recommend attending USJ if you are not looking for a party school, but a laid back campus with great academics.

This is the tour of the newly renovated / expanded Wickham Memorial Library in East Hartford, CT…read more Located at Burnside Ave., That building opened in 1940 as a library. That building hadn't been occupied as a library for the last 5+ years. The library had a grand reopening to the public on Monday May 8. This library primarily serves patrons in neighborhoods where there's access to books at this library. As of now, there's no patron access to upstairs at this time but as more volumes will eventually be added to the collection, there will be more books upstairs and I think there will be children's room up in that level in the future. For now, there's a limited selection of materials from every subject, movies and children's books.

For more than a year, the Drummer Boy statue has been AWOL from its old location on the Bloomfield…read moreVillage Green. But I'm happy to say that the statue has been spiffed up, revitalized, and relocated. It's still on the Village Green but moved to a prominent location at the major intersection of Park Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue. The statue was removed as part of "Phase Two" of a Village Green renovation project. The green was revitalized with new benches and walkways, a gorgeous green lawn, and major repairs to the statue which was in a state of disrepair. Some of the work included removing corrosion by blasting, a new metal coating, and replacement of the drum skin. The Drummer Boy's Drum is a significant piece of Bloomfield's history. Known as "the Brown Drum" they were manufactured on Bloomfield's Brown Street by the Brown family -first Benjamin Brown and then his nephew Eli Brown. The Drummer Boy symbolizes a "march toward liberty, justice and equality" by America's early Patriots.
