 * Arlington - Has bees on the 2nd floor. I'm not kidding. There was a hive being maintained. It's alright, but the ceilings are a little low, and it's somewhat claustrophobic.
-* Beantown (main location) - They (in the last 10 years) added a cafe, which makes it like Barnes and Noble. That is OK, but it's still a hassle to get downtown, and the city is filthy in its own lovely way.

 * Burlington - Has a decent programming section.
 * Camerbridge - A couple of locations. One is open on sundays, but is small. The one with the large park out front is decent. Bathrooms have no doors because of junkies and homeless people and safety.

 * Lexington - One of the better locations. They sometimes have meetings or entertain authors. A real neat second floor overlooking the meeting area.
 * Lynnfield - Small. The town doesn't really have a downtown, so the library is somewhat smaller than it could be. It's a nice library.

 * Peabody - Reportedly, they have multiple libraries. I've only been to one. The building organization is confusing. An OK library.
 * Salem - A nice brick building. Within walking distance of downtown, but unfortunately, not in the center. Could be bigger, but not bad.
-* Wakefield - Larger building. Worth visiting from time to time.

+I've been to a lot of the libraries near me. It is a good opportunity to travel. I would recommend that everyone consider making it a hobby to travel to libraries near where they live. If only to go book hunting.
