Hingham Public Library

Like the previous reviewer I too enjoy public libraries. Every town I live in I acquaint myself with the library branches. I have lived all over… California, Arizona, DC, NY, and of course, MA… and this is one of the nicest library branches I have been to and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
The space is huge with plenty of outside parking. Enormous children’s section and great book selections.
The only drawback is that the library is closed on Fridays, other than that I definitely recommend this place to my fellow library lovers.

I’ve always been a huge fan of public libraries and I love spending time in them. Hingham is blessed with one of the best around and it’s really worth getting acquainted with this branch. For starters the librarians are consistently helpful and top-​notch. They go out of their way to help you find whatever it is you’re looking for and to be available for assistance.
The library building itself, while outwardly a bit dated in design, is light, airy and comfortable inside. Sign up for emails from the library on their website and you will hear about upcoming musical concerts, art exhibits, movie showings, the book club, lectures, readings by authors, and a host of other offerings. The library has its own gallery where you can regularly view all kinds of art.
In addition to the books, the library has terrific DVD and CD collections. There is art work that you can borrow too and museum passes available. And all this is free! We’re so lucky to have a great library system in general but the Hingham library is really something special. It’s a great place to spend time.
