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.
