This library is beautiful! Being an avid reader, I went there today for my first time in over a year. They have a complete selections of books, movies, and others you find around the library. Given 5 stars, that’s not a big win for me comparing to other libraries I have gone to. You can browse for free paperbacks that you’re interested in. The staff at the circulation desk are extremely happy to patrons. Upstairs locates the Children’s area which includes a fish tank there. They have displays around those shelves there too. There’s an art-​made Statue of Liberty there also. They have it all organized! They always have good programs going on. The Reading room and the Magazine/​Newspaper area gets you a quiet, busy pleasure. Come in, Check out, and Read on here if you’re an Ellington resident and if you haven’t been to this place.

This beautiful black and gold sundial sits in front of the main entrance of Ellington’s Hall Memorial Library. It was dedicated in 2003 to mark the library’s centennial.
It stands an impressive 7′ tall and is secured to a concrete, brick, and stone base. It’s designed in the style of an «armillary sphere», which I found out is a «model of objects in the sky consisting of a spherical framework of rings that represent longitude and latitude».
Anyway, it’s gorgeous, with bronze Roman numerals on the inside and bronze zodiac signs on the outside of the rings.
There’s a bronze plaque with a thought provoking quote on the base that reads:
Honoring 100 Years

This is a lovely library in a quaint part of Ellington. It’s spacious, inviting, and has a great selection. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they can get it from another library in their network. The children’s section is huge; it’s the entire second floor. I also highly recommend walking through their reference section. It’s where the computers are, but it’s the older part of the building, with some great stained glass and leather sofas and chairs.
My favorite part of any visit, though, is getting to play with Buttercup, the cat who lives nextdoor but walks through every day as though she owns the place. She talks quite a bit and will approach you if you’re quiet. She’s a sweet old girl and it’s a real treat to have a kitty to pet while reading. After all, Mark Twain owned 14 of them!
