A tribute to Henry Huttleston Rogers' daughter.
Reviewed By mattdL5883XX - New Bedford, United States
This library is gorgeous, inside and out. There is so much to the layout and design that makes you feel like you're in a castle from study/computer rooms that feel almost lavish, to the stained glass entrance. Their fiction, non fiction, and childrens selections are good, but what makes this library stand out for me is its selection of DVDs and CDs. There are so many movies they are divided by genre and even sub genre like Biopics, Comic-Based, Oscar Winners, and a fantastic selection of Silent Film. There's so much music you can find great collections of Celtic, Cajun, R&B/Soul, Blues, Jazz, Rock, and Movie Soundtracks. The staff is extremely welcoming and easy to talk to, the location is great, there's nothing not to love about this library!

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.

A library that was open during the pandemic! It was like an oasis.Camden's library is on a spot overlooking the harbor, with some amazing outdoor space. What you think is a gazebo or maybe a Tardis, turns out to be a window into the reference room. On the other side of the building is the outdoor amphitheater. It's not hosting any shows or concerts this summer, but is a beautiful shady spot to rest and read.

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.
7. John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum & Library

4.5 based on 3,920 reviews
Relive the Kennedy era in this dynamic combination museum and library, where your visit starts with a short film and then leaves you on your own to explore a series of fascinating exhibits, including the Kennedy-Nixon debate, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the space program, 1960s campaign paraphernalia and displays about Jacqueline and other Kennedy family members. The striking, I.M. Pei-designed building overlooks the water and the Boston skyline.

One of us and two friends visited the John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum & Library on a cloudy Saturday morning in October. The facility itself is beautiful. There were no lines when we arrived in the morning and the introductory film was well worth watching. While no person is perfect, it was amazing to be reminded of how intelligent, passionate, charming, glamorous and successful the President and First Lady were. It was also inspiring to be reminded of all President Kennedy accomplished, dreamed to accomplish and inspired others to accomplish. There are numerous exhibits and short films which cover various aspects of President Kennedy’s life and career including his campaigns, his significant speeches, the Peace Corps, the Space Program and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Among the displays are numerous artifacts, photos and documents (some real and some facsimiles) which exquisitely personalize and dramatize the lives and careers of the President, the First Lady and his brothers Bobby and Ted (photos of a few of the items are attached). It was also awe inspiring to take the time to reread some of the President’s speeches and marvel at how he adeptly sought to inspire all Americans to work together in support of causes greater than themselves (photos of a few excerpts are also attached). Bottom line, if you are looking to be inspired or are a history buff, we highly recommend you spend a few hours at this wonderful Museum and Library. On the way out, the café and gift shop are both worth a visit too. Enjoy.

The Providence Athenæum is an independent, member-supported library and cultural center located on Providence’s historic Benefit Street. Over its nearly 200 years of existence, the library has welcomed illustrious writers, spirited thinkers, and energetic community members through its doors to engage in reading, conversation, and debate. At its heart, the Athenæum encourages a love of reading and learning to all. Free & open to the public.

Inside this beautiful building is a world of real books (complete with card catalogue!) and helpful docents. The architecture and decor would be worth a visit; the rare books collection astonishing. The shelves are filled with books, some familiar, others waiting to be explored. The Raven tour (Edgar Allan Poe was a visitor) is fun and informative. Throughout the year, special events are offered to members. Easily worth the price of admission to membership!

Museum of history in Montpelier Vermont.
Reviewed By Andres72423 - Bridgeport, United States
I was not planning to visit the museum but we walked by and decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did. The museum takes you on a full history of Vermont from Native American history to colonization, to their efforts in the American Revolution to statehood and beyond. As you begin it starts at a wigwam and as you walk through you are able to get the full story of Vermont. Their displays are excellent with plenty of artifacts which tell a complete story of who, what, where, when, why and how. If I remember correctly we only paid about $7 per adult person and it was worth it. They also have a small gift shop which had some great items to purchase. For the purposes of planning your visit it can take you anywhere from 1-2 hours to see all exhibits, maybe more if you really get into reading all the stories. I highly recommend this Musuem, you won’t be disappointed.
