Modern building on edge of town with 2 floors. Limited selection of items as library looks big outside. Lousy NH library system means there is NO Single library network like other states and library is meant for only local town residents but outsiders can Pay to join! What a ripoff for NH libraries and the state! Small, shared parking lot outside.

The staff is brilliant. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a splash of Art to keep you interested in your surroundings. There are multiple places to study if you are looking for a quiet place to read or study. The children's section provides a myriad of resources to supplement your child's education or simply engage them in reading or creative tasks. I'm always amazed at their programming. We have visited live owls, taken platform 9 3/4 to Hogwarts, attended lectures, met with friends to engage minds and stay out of the cold, as well as visited a multitude of worlds when reading the books they loaned us. This is a splendid library.

PPL is top-shelf: Approachable, helpful staff. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Kid friendly. Plenty of parking. Convenient hours. Comprehensive array of audio-visual and resource material. A number of free activities for families and individuals. Suggested improvements: Create more private computer staions. Encourage patrons to be quiet in the lobby area, as sometimes it is the only area with available seating. Make tray tables available so that patrons can work or study when all desks are occupied.
