Reviews
The people here are so friendly and helpful when needed. Small library but it's a small town. Has plenty of books, movies, and WIFI access. There's also a childrens play area so your kids have something to do while you search for the perfect book. You can also search the online catalog and place a hold on the books or movies you want and they notify you via email when the item(s) are available for pickup at your preferred library.
Great spot. Check out the museum next door.
The Fairfield Library is one of the locations of oldest living memory for me. In distant childhood I can recall that wonderful place of stories. Every Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock we would come for story time. We would sit and listen to the librarian read to us, the stories coming from large picture books. She read, holding them towards us with so we could see the illustrations as we clustered around her, dreaming of being the characters, looking in the small pictures that ringed the page to see the hedgehog in his hole, warm against the snow, smelling the salt air of the bay and hearing the cry of the gulls wheeling or circling overhead, or gazing out across the roofs of the town to the mighty tower and the king standing atop it, gently lifting a marvellous hat from the head of the small boy who stood before him. We would stay for hours after story time, playing with the other kids, reading the books that stood in seemingly endless rows on shelves, neat and tidy. I can remember when my sister, the most beautiful and idyllic princess, complete with golden hair, blue eyes, and completion of rose pedals, enraptured by a book while sitting quietly in her checked summer play dress, was featured on a promotional for the library. Yes, we spent a lot of time at the library.nAs the days sped by I grew older and advanced past the picture books. I was into the world of kings and queens, of princesses and knights errant. The classic stories rose from the pages of the books, forming amazing pictures in my mind, transporting me to places of wonder. Deep forests where I lived alone with only the deer and the occasional lost wanderer. To the deck of a ship where I sailed as cabin boy, braving the storms at sea, climbing the lines to the mast top, laughing into the spray and the towering waves. To the fog on the streets of London, lit in patches here and there by the flickering gas jets behind their sooty lantern covers, walking through the silent night, the only sound my feet on the cobble stones and the occasional whisper of wind which swirled the fog around the old weathered buildings, coming and passing down the street, leaving only silence and stillness in its wake. To places far and near. I have traveled the world and lived a thousand lives through the pages of the myriad books I borrowed from the library. I would order a stack of books one week and wait until they arrived from the other branches of the library. Then I would read. The stories would build around me, beautiful and fascinating, full of magic and marvel and mystery, exciting and wonderful. And I would forget where I was, forget the four walls of the library that stood about me, and I would be transported into the pages of the book and the adventure trapped there awaiting, with breathless anticipation, my arrival.
