But also be aware that libraries have so much more these days. The Batavia branch has games you can borrow, stem kits for kids, a seed library! 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. We have been to paint nights for both adults and even my 1 year old, they had a cool baby race my daughter participated in, we gave been to trivia and always participate in their summer read program. Stop on by they have stuff for everyone!

While its definitely NOT the huge glass roofed facilities one finds in universities and big cities, its definitely a notable one of a kind place all it's own that I'm personally quite fond of. The staff is kind, helpful and polite and all in all this library offers incredible value to the community.

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.

At first glance the library may seem typical, full of books, movies, video games and magazines, lining shelves. Like all libraries these days the card catalog has been upgraded to a computer look up system for ease for all. But what sets it apart is the kind and caring staff, that takes the time to get to know you, offer recommendations and host events. Whether you are a child or an adult, you will find something for you. Not much of a reader? Check out one of their technology classes, holiday parties for kids and families, and free art classes for kids, and also separate art classes for adults. Although the ground floor is small, it holds the adult section only, while the kids room comes alive down stairs. Displays are updated, and activities and fun abound. Stop on out to this neat little library and check out all the cool things it holds!

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 children's section was large with lots of books and plenty of activities.

This is my childhood library, so every visit has a fair amount of rose colored nostalgia. But as an…read moreadult, I continued to patronize Brighton and will continue to do so. 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.
