History
The Baker Park branch was originally located on Bristol Road in the fire hall. The branch moved to its current location in 1979 and is located in the same building as the Burton Senior Center. Baker Park was named for the park that was on the property that the library and senior center occupy. The branch was renovated with paint and carpet in 2002. The facade was revamped in 2016.
One of the most unusual aspects of the Baker Park branch is that it used to have rabbits and parakeets available for check out. In addition, the parakeets had eggs that were hatched.
Some of the branch librarians were Odile Aagesen, Karen Upham, Roy Soncrant and Bob Gorney. Hear Odile Aageson share her GDL memories in this sweet video: http://bit.ly/1UFY3Vd.
