I’ve been coming to the Dover Library since I was a kid. I’ve never had a bad encounter with anyone until today.

The library is clean, quiet(unless you go when there is a mini-con),the staff is really friendly,the children section is the best place to take your kids to learn and play, great little theatre for people who want to just chill and relax, also a great place for teens and adults who enjoy anime to get away from real life ,They also help the homeless by letting them get out of the cold during the day until they close.Best place I've been ever since the old one shut down and got a bigger place I recommend it to anyone and everyone....
