I have always LOVED my local libraries. I used the one in Halifax heavily, though it was quite small. The librarians there were SO helpful in obtaining books from the Boston public library on esoteric subjects like dying agates, and rocks and minerals and their properties.
They even WOULD have hired my recommendation for volunteer, (from the local drug abuse recovery facility), if she had not backed out. The librarians were wonderful.
I also love the library in Plymouth. Though the librarians there don't have that small town bend-over-backward way of helping you, they are still perfectly nice and helpful.
Plymouth is a larger library, and has art galleries, genealogy rooms, quilt displays, a separate area for children, an elevator, meeting rooms, programs for volunteers, free museum passes, free games for outdoors, free Kindle and ebook readers, videos of all kinds, and of course, my special favorite, REAL books. They have a large computer area, a large section for periodicals, and they offer up to 10 free copies of anything you like.
I order most of my books online, and then they are there waiting for me!

@4meAndyou I feel the same way about my local library. Sometimes, there is no other place I would rather be.

@robbie2499 Plymouth used to have an awesome reading room for the periodicals with sofas and soft upholstered chairs. ALL of that was removed during covid.
