We went to Noyes because we lived in Kensington and that was our library for everyone, children and adults. I remember coming to this charming small house where we would sit on the floor and could take any book we wanted off the shelf to look through. It was during the late 50s and through the mid 60s. Every week we were allowed to take two books home and each sibling would pick their own. I looked forward to going to Noyes because we would sit in the children's area and pick books while my mother went to the adult section, and while I'm sure she kept her eyes on us, it felt like we were left alone for some time with so many books to look through. I also remember the warmth of the building, lots of dark wood.
