After recent renovations to its interior, the library offers a warm and cozy place to curl up next to the stone fireplace with a good book, or even get some work done with its free wireless internet and computers. Over time, the library has remained a comforting place for visitors from near and far. “I’d say we’re one of the mainstays in Sandwich,” Wonders says, “people come here to communicate with each other. Before we had the coffee shop, [the Sandwich Wentworth Library] was pretty much the centralized chatting, meeting, and talking to your neighbors point. It’s very welcoming and warm."
