Excellent genealogy library. Wide selection of books and microfilm to enable sucessful genealogy searches. Free research programs are offered throughout the year. Also has wide variety of books, books on tape/CD and movies to check out. Separate children's area. Dunkin Donut shop on site so that you can stay for hours.

We love the library and visit frequently. They have great programming and a really nice staff. I would recommend it no matter your age. They are especially great with the children's programming.
