This place would be great if they changed the name to «Winchester Public Day Care» or «Winchester Public Place for Teenagers to Hook Up in the Stacks and Yell at Each Other and Chase Around Like Crazy Idiots» but Library? Come on! Where I come from a library is a place of learning and quiet contemplation, not a gymnasium or a place for screaming children. The librarians have zero control and don’t seem to even notice the animals are running the Zoo! Couple that with a terrible internet connection and at this very moment loud bass music coming from somewhere downstairs that would put a rap concert to shame and you have a place that is unbearable for anyone with any serious work to get done. Giving back my library card and not coming back!

Great library. As other reviewers have mention, it looks great. There are quite rooms for some solitary time, many computers, and lots of tables, chairs, and sofas. I always come here to study, since it is such great environment to focus.
This library has a good collection of books, movies, megazines, and other items you would find at a library, but it also carries video games for ps3, 360, and wii. The games a current and just a great addition to this wonderful library

The town has done a wonderful job renovating an historic building and making it feel light and modern, without sacrificing its inspirational ambiance. A huge children’s room on the lower level has videos and games as well as books, and the upper levels have book and media collections as well as nice study spaces. Maybe the young adult area could be a little bigger and more inviting. There is great programming for all ages, book clubs, reading clubs and so on. In the summer it’s a pleasant walk to the charming downtown Winchester shops for ice cream or just reading by the lake.

Only one Weird Al CD. What is this? Soviet Russia?

Finally got to visit the library, as I am a big fan of libraries after working in one for several years. This one is picturesque with a nice blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. They are friendly and can get nearly anything you need. Beautiful area to walk outside and read your favorite book as well.

Gorgeous location right along a pond. Historic stone building with a great flow inside. Kids downstairs, adults upstairs with a great quiet reading room, then a computer terminals on the other side. Plus they are connected to the Boston consortium so you will always find what you need.

This is easily the nicest library around.
Expanded and renovated several years ago, this library just keeps getting better.
Ground floor: children’s section. There’s a seperate checkout desk here, books and novels for kids, computers that are free to use and have a surprsingly large number of fun games and programs for the little ones on them. An adjoining room has books and areas to read to your kid. There’s also some puppets and toys here to keep them occupied. You can EASILY kill a couple hours here with your kids.
Upstairs, main checkout desk. DVD + audio book section. Historical section. Some desks for studying and the usual smattering of books and magazines, etc. Upstairs, all books, along with some private studying rooms you can rent out (free) at the main desk.
The place is in awesome shape. Great selection of books and surprisingly large number of videos to rent too. Great library. A gem in the town of Winchester.
