Things to do in Connecticut, United States: The Best Libraries
Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

Unless things have changed, this library is free to visit. In the height of summer, there is (was) a steady stream of groups—outside these times - a magical place especially when the light coming in through the marble windows is sufficient to illuminate the interior.

The Lucy Robbins Welles Library is a fantastic library. Newington is really lucky to have this gem. They have everything - study rooms, a community room, magazines, newspapers, plenty of cozy nooks to sit and read, books and CDs on languages, DVDs to rent, access to computers, used books for sale and much more. There is also a community board right when you walk in, to find out what events are happening in the area. If I were a local I would be taking advantage of this amazing place, weekly.

A beautiful building filled with happy staff and great content. The building is one of the anchors of our beautiful Main St. and deservedly so. With plenty of room for all the varied activities in constant motion there in.
