    Wow! I haven't been here in 25 years. (Way to date myself) I've never been to this new building (took place of the old civic center & library), and I must say this place is gorgeous!!! Stunning architecture pieces with some jazzy abstract lighting and a bunch of smiling employees, this place felt so warm!! Came here to get a library card so I can use the Kanopy app. Staff members greeted me and helped me sign up pretty swiftly! Just bring an up to date drivers license and fill out a small form (basic name, age, residency, etc) and you'll get a card within minutes. I can't wait to come back, and go through the books when I have time!

    It's a nice looking building. It's combined with their City Hall. I learned their library card is only good for their library. Other Boynton Beach libraries need a different library card. That's because the state branches didn't merge with the city system. So their books r not tracked from other libraries.

    January 10,2023, Tuesday.... Tonight from 6-8pm, at Boynton Beach City Library had a Card making Class. When they Offer these Classes, anyone can sign up. 2 WEEKS Prior of the Class, they allow a certain amount of people. The class is located in the Florida Room, Upstairs on the 2nd Floor. Christine & Rebecca are the Gals who work with the Library to Assist in these Fabulous Classes. Tonight's class was about using Card Stock in Your choice of color, cutting it down to size, then picking out Cotton Fabric if Your choice & Rubbing the Front of the Card with the GLUE STIK, then putting your Fabric ontop, then Embossing it with an Imprint of your choice, then adding Details of Washi Tape or Sequins or CRICUT cutouts or Gem stones, Just Alot of different choices. The Library supplies Everything, you just Need to Bring yourself after you have signed up & was accepted. The girls even call you the Previous day ,as a Reminder about the Class.This Class tonight was Fabulous & Different. Thank you, Christine & Rebecca & Marley.

    This brand new library is located within the new City Hall building on Ocean Ave. There is the general use library upstairs above the youth library and city hall offices. To get to the upstairs general library, you can take the large modern staircase near the entrance doors or the elevators around the corner which is before the youth library. Both libraries are very modern and beautiful with great calming earth tones. The youth library has great decor including a "Little Mermaid" reading area for kids. Like the general use library, there are plenty of books to read. There is also a computer lab area and plenty of sitting areas to sit and enjoy reading in a quiet space. As a modern enhancement, both libraries have a computerized self check out station and a station to get an hourly loan of a laptop computer. Everything was very new and sterile looking. It was very quiet inside and if you don't have a library card, you can simply bring in a photo ID along with 2 documents showing a current county address. I felt that this could be the perfect place for the stay at home student to come to do their school work as well as read a good book

    This library was sort of hard for me to find. Once I came in it seemed to be a pretty typical library. Two floors. It's definitely an older building, but it seems to be taken care of, neat, and pretty clean. The parking lot and the main entrance are located in the back of the building, which Is why i mentioned it was sort of hard to find. The only real downside to this library is that there are no designated work spaces for those who want to come and find a quiet, free place to do work. (Like finish a dissertation) I ended up finding one tiny little table upstairs that has a computer on it that is supposed to be reserved. However, I brought my own laptop and the library was pretty empty so it worked for this occasion. I will probably search a different library to meet my needs next time, but if you're looking for books or polite people to assist you, there is nothing wrong w this location. Update: this is a temporary location. New library and town center is expected to be completed in May. I was asked to leave after 1 hour due to no space and other wanting to sit I guess. Oh well. At least now I know this location won't work!

    I'm a complete dork. SO I love this library. I worked here when I was in high school and this was the hook up spot. If you came to the library you heard all the gossip and found cute people acting like they were studying to talk too. Now that I've come back, I enjoy the improvements even more. The library now has an additional floor, and floor plan that keeps the younger patrons safer by giving them their own section. Great for story time and summer reading programs. The adult section has a great fiction section and the areas on Florida History are one of the best for a public facility. Physically the building is beautiful and surrounded by a museum and a playground not to far along with a teen center. Another great addition is the snack center downstairs that's apart from the library. Grab a book a nd take it down there to enjoy a nice lite sandwich and a drink. And it's not just about the books, plenty of electronical devices, cds, DVDs in stock to please any of your passions.

    Are they allowing students to sit and study for extensive amounts of time?? I was there around September/October and I couldn't sit and study.

    We have passed by this branch library on Lantana Road many times and decided to stop in to check it…read moreout. The branch is large inside and has a large parking lot outside with many limited mobility spots. Good to see so many people taking advantage of the services, both young and old. There is even a Creative studio with all the equipment needed to create your own pod cast or other visual production. The only negative was in the print media (Newspaper) section. Several publications were missing sections or even whole days in the middle of a week.

    We'd been driving by this library for a few years and finally decided to stop in and see it in…read moreperson. There are always a lot of cars parked out front so it's obviously busy, busy. This is a relatively new library for Lantana. It was opened in 1923 but according to all reports it took a bit for it to be built -- construction delays, etc. It replaced their former library which was located in a bank building. This place is large! It is packed with books and tapes, etc. There's a long bank of computers in cubicles that can be used. And most of them on a mid-week mid-day time were occupied. There are private nooks and seating areas throughout. A reference section. A children's section. And most impressively, a recording room where you could do podcasts or filming of some sort. When we came by, there was a line of folks to get into the auditorium/meeting room. I'm not sure what was going on there, but they do have many programs and activities for families, children, etc. Overall, it was spacious, clean, and well-organized. It could be a bit overwhelming for some people. But it is easy to see why it is well patronized by the locals.
