Westport Public Library Reviews

My sons have used the library extensively, but I've been a very sporadic user. Last week I lamented on FaceBook that a book I needed was much more expensive at Barnes & Noble in town than online, and someone suggested that it was a shame libraries didn't carry such specialized books (a guide to Final Cut Pro X software). Maxine B saw the comment, checked it out, found that book for me and sent me a note before I even found the library website! Within an hour I was home with the book and productive.

The library is a treasure, Maxine is a gem, and we are lucky to have both in our little town. I've used the conference rooms, wifi, cafe, and periodicals sections in the past. Now I'll have to browse the shelves, too. Thanks!

Great place to study, if it wasn't a playground for kids and people who DO NOT respect the courtesy of a library. Noise cancelling headphones A MUST HAVE. I wish the staff would help in enforcing the sanctity of a LIBRARY

Beautiful location with nice cafe and boutique.. But always NOISY both times I have come. It seems like no one takes their phone calls outside. I find it weird that most people talk in normal tones, often times loudly, as if it isn't a library.

The library has electricity but unlike libraries in other towns where doors were opened to help citizens charge devices, WPL chose to remain closed and not help its patrons. Where do you think your funding comes from? Thanks for not helping your community.

A wonderful place of learning, introspection and now entertainment. Just a wonderful part of the community and gift to all

great space to work, the cafe is sparsely stocked but well priced (though i recommend getting coffee elsewhere, as last I was here they just used pods), recent renovations mean theres going to be more working space -- but also more ambient noise from people doing things. this is not a quiet library, but that is okay. There are cubicles that are quieter. 3d printers are a good touch, though of niche use to most.

Love their reading rooms, small onsite cafe, and outdoor areas overlooking the river.

The best Library, my favorite in all CT!!!

Can't live without it!

Love the library, especially the new geek interest program. So many wonderful books and helpful librarians. Love the talks too!

By far the nosiest library I've ever been in (and I'm an academic so I spend a Iot of time in libraries). But if you enjoy talking very loudly in a library then you will feel right at home here. There s also a constant screeching sound I m guessing its from electric pencil sharpeners. Anyway, I m leaving now to go to a cafe because the noise in this library is giving me a headache.

Was good. I am a lot at libraries, and this one worth a visit. Turn the phone off, disconnect from FB, and read a little. Best hours spent.

Recently renovated with second floor area, conference rooms, patio, cafe and more.

Great place to do freelance work, complete with a good cafe, great river views and even a nearby outdoor trail for breaks. Very modern library too.

One of the best non-urban public libraries I've ever seen. It's excellent to work and research.

Holds ready quickly and a widely spaced pickup area. Excellent for pandemic use.
