It's been awhile since I've been to the Tarpon Springs Library. It is still the same friendly,…read moreaccessible, and beautiful place I remember. I checked out a DVD of a series recommended to me by a Yelp friend. They were only one of four libraries that had it. It was easy to find, and quickly checked out by a very friendly librarian. The library has a craft basket at the checkout desk. So help yourself to a craft while they last! They also have museum passes for Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. Unfortunately, the James Museum is no longer offered. That was one of my favorite museums to visit for free. Now I will pay for the privilege. This library has plenty of parking in their parking lot, on the street, and across the way. It's all for free. It also has accessible bathrooms, a Friends of the Library book area by the front doors, community rooms, and a children's section. Do yourself a favor, and stop by to see all that is offered here.

I tried to get a library card today. Well that was absolutely ridiculous. I was asking questions…read moresince it's been 10 years since I've had a card at this location. When I asked the woman behind the counter next thing I know there was three people telling me I had to pay $25 to get a library card. As I was asking the so-called manager lady questions, she was very discriminating towards me because I had a walker and instead answered my friend who she didn't even know I was friends with that was standing next to me as if I was invisible. Way to go for discrimination. Unbelievable. It was already late in the afternoon and they wasted about 20 minutes of my very valuable time. The place needs a revamp inside. The outside is beautiful as usual. The only one that was helpful and very sweet was a young man named Ray. Thank you Ray for being a decent good human. It's a shame that your co-workers and manager are not decent at all. If you have a walker or any type of assistance with a device DON'T GO THERE. The bathroom has the heaviest door and is not accessible. They do have a stall that is larger, but you have to struggle with the door to get in at all. I can't believe this used to be a great Library. Maybe the manager should take out a book herself about discriminating against people fighting for their life

I sought out this library as my computer & printer were in transit. When I went to renew my card, forget it...the crickets stopped chirping & I started the new speedy process. It was quick, painless & easy. I am on my way. I started with the computers, as there was a task, I had to complete. The staff at all points were fabulous, knowledgeable & a no judgment zone. As with the first time with most computers, I was making mistakes right & left. The Liberian was gentle & supportive of me till I finished. Sometimes she would just see me looking perplexed & give me comfort. The library also offers printing at $.10 per page, try & beat that! The movies, taking books & regular books are a broad assortment, to fit anyone's taste. A wonderful day & experience! They offer many things, I don't even know about to include political, religious, green useage, recycling & so much more. Don't ever count your neighborhood library out, like a good friend, it is always there & can be relied upon. What's a girl to do? I will no longer keep libraries in the recesses of my mind, they will be front & center, as they belong!

Let me preface this by stating that I grew up with libraries being a part of my life and they will always have a special place in my heart. This library, while not being very large, is well laid out and has an impressive amount of varied media on hand. From current video games (Xbox 1/PS4) to DVDs and graphic novels and a well appointed computer lab, this place has something for everyone. The upstairs has currated collections in separate spaces. A children's room, young adult and international section to hilight a few. The staff was very friendly and getting setup with a library card was effortless. The library hosts special events as well. Some of the offerings are live music and art exhibitions...check the website for details. http://www.nprlibrary.org/calendar.html In a world that is moving away from the tangable, there is something both magical and refreshing about a building filled with paper.

They looked earnest & engrossed in their duties. Friday, 5/2/22, I visited this library for a one hour lesson in writing a "love letter will." It was interesting and I learned a few things. It was also a pitch for estate planning and wills, but I'm happy with our attorney and our will. I took the useful brochure with me. Afterwards, I wandered down the wide hallway to the double glass doors to peruse the books for sale in the front of the library. Prices were reasonable. I also looked around at the plethora of books and other materials that patrons could check out. But I had to call this visit short. I had to hurry to Palm Harbor to lead a class (Tai Chi for Balance). I hope to return for a more in depth look at what this majestic library offers.

This is a well shaded part of Anderson Park. It is the first stop on the left, after the turnoff for recycling and the boat ramps. You can stay and read, and then leave what you've read, or take it home. This is a mini oasis in Anderson Park.
