Others to Consider: Boston Public Library - Central Branch, NH Vacation Week Library Programs, Fitchburg Library, Thomas Crane Public Library, The French Library & Cultural CenterEnjoy the large children's area, computers, story hours and discount museum passes. Very nice selection of books & children's CDs. The giant picture windows are a fun spot for young ones to peer outside.
Couches and cozy nooks with puzzles & puppets round out a fun morning at this library branch. They also feature a nice playground outside the children's wing.
It is part of the Minuteman Library Network, too, so you have access to anything in the networked library branches as well.

Nice Children's Area & playground to boot, Mon 15 May 2006
We like the Acton Library for a number of reasons. The playground behind the library is a nice perk. Inside, upon entering the children's area, there is always a welcoming art table stocked plenty of crayons and pictures for coloring for little ones. Three large inviting alcoves each have big window seats for reading together & peering outside. There is also ample couch & chair seating. Puzzles, books on tape, videos, kids music, and of course a huge selection of children's books all beckon kids to discover them.
