Reply to comment by yeehawkalian in The Willet Free Library: the cutest library in the state! by HotConcrete

North Kingstown library is the opposite of charm but a really interesting example of 70's modern architecture where the natural environment was tapped to steal the show. Make sure you go downstairs and walk the grounds for a true appreciation.

If you ever find yourself in Camden Maine do not miss that one.

I used to live in a carriage house in Wickford village until last year! I spent a lot of time there, but I did not like the North Kingstown library because it was so LOUD. Wide open, high-celling, multi-floor open plans are terrible choices for library design. However, it almost always had the books I was looking for, the staff was excellent, and you can't beat the view of Academy Cove! I did like walking around the outside and sitting at the tables in the little sunken garden.
