"wonderful people. will get whatever you're looking for"

"Fantastic, We live in Newport and we met it through a specific event they did for children and we loved it, it has large spaces, different activities for them to play, assemble and they manage monthly calendars with activities for the children, they do not have a section in Spanish But, they have diversity books and the few they have are excellent. In the adult area by the main entrance on the right hand side they have quite a few FREE puzzles. We liked it a lot! Thank you for having these spaces for children, they really are very helpful!"

"This library is great, the kids room is clean and has lots of ways to entertain them. It's a nice place to distract the kids for a bit"

"For a small town of which Portsmouth is this library has everything you would find in a library of you had to go to a bigger town. They offer computers for the patrons to use. They offer reading programs for the younger reader in your family. At times they may have a guest speakers come in and talk to you about different topics ranging from how to do things on the internet to a program on tracing your ancestors."

"I'm a big proponent of public libraries. There's truly something for everyone here. Books on every topic (of course) but also movies/ videos, music cds, audio books, internet access, fishing pole lending, and on and on. If you haven't been to a public library lately, check one out! Update 7/12/2022: still a great community resource. Updated 2/13/2023: I'm happy to say that the library hours are back to their pre-pandemic hours (or at least similar) and there's more events happening again."
