One of North Stafford's favorite hideaways is none other than the local library, specifically, the John Musante Porter Branch. Built in 1992, with an architectural design unlike most other community libraries, the Porter branch is conveniently situated in the center of North Stafford's most populous area, and just down the street from three of its local schools, North Stafford High School, H.H. Poole Middle School, and Park Ridge Elementary. Additionally, within a couple of miles are North Stafford's most popular home subdivisions:
- Park Ridge
- Hampton Oaks
- Augustine
- Amyclae
- Berkshire
- Austin Ridge
- Autumn Ridge
- Whitson's Ridge
For those that like to stop in just to relax and still catch up on their news the old fashion way, hard copy instead of the web, there's plenty of comfortable seating and with accompanying desk space, but also assorted seating throughout the building. For those who prefer the comfort of online information, there are a number of computer stations and free Wi-Fi for those who carry their laptop with them.
For a bit of cultural enrichment, the library's ArtPoint program highlights the many local artists offering live entertainment, painting exhibits, story telling, and various other forms of media.
So, for those new to the North Stafford community, or those who've witnessed the steady stream of more and more traffic lights moving into the neighborhood the past few years, stop by your local library, whether by day or night, and enjoy the wealth it has to offer. As someone has said, "a library is an arsenal of liberty." For most of us, its only a few blocks away and certainly worth the journey.
