Everyone loves Compo Beach.
Swimming, sunning, grilling, boating, kayaking, strolling, volleyball, the playground — what’s not to like?
Canada geese.
Those nasty, snarling, pooping-everywhere creatures are the bane of our beach existence.
A while ago, a nearby resident posted a sign on the gate between Ned Dimes Marina and the adjacent grassy area.
“Goose Control. Please close!” it said.
The idea was to keep geese confined to one area (which part is unclear).
It doesn’t work. Some people fail to close the gate. Plus, geese fly.
That sign was last week’s Photo Challenge. Matt Murray, Dan Vener, Rich Stein, Rod Rodriguez, Ralph Balducci, Judith Reid, Yvonne Ferris, David Feig, Pete Powell, Pat Saviano and Lawrence Joel Zlatkin all knew exactly where to find it. (And the accompanying goose turds.)
Click here to see Les Dinkin’s photo. And here’s a bonus feature: a photo from last summer, of a goose who may or may not give a shit about the little sign.

Now it’s on to today’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.

Easy (I think!). The original library building downtown, entrance facing the old Y.

The old library
I agree with all who identified it as the old library building.
Of course! Definitely an easy one. The original Westport Public Library on the Post Road, near Main Street. This was carved above what was the original front door.
Hate to Ned Dimes Marina!
It is the lintel of the original Westport Public Library building at the corner of Main St and the Post Road. I always enjoyed how this feature got straight to the heart of the meaning of the word “Public” in “Public Library.”
Over the entry door to our original Library…on the Post Rd.

The ORIGINAL town library @ Main St and Post 🙂
On top of the old library across from the old YMCA, diagonally across the street from the old Eddie Bauer store.

So many answers from people who know where that is! I don’t know exactly where it is on the building, probably above an entry, but the sentiment and the style are enough to let people know it’s on the old library.

The library in our day.
One of the first things I noticed upon arriving in Westport circa 1969. The irony of “Open to All” engraved in stone, above a door that didn’t work and wouldn’t open!

Guess the cop in the car will arrest those unsuspecting fly overs.
Must be the old Library Building…this is a core mission of all Public Libraries!
My guess is the the Westport Public Library. Barb Sherburne ’67.
