Any publication that I have asked for and was not available at our library, has been found, borrowed from another library somewhere.... sometimes at great distance from Tallahassee. As to the indigents, excuse me but they are foremost: PEOPLE and then people who are indigent ie poor or homeless or both who have found a warm and wonderful space in which to spend hours. And, people dress much more casually these days. They may or may not be poor.... just based on their looks, one cannot tell. I have been treated only respectfully by people who sit in the library or outside on the benches. The people sitting about also like to be treated respectfully. A greeting as in "Good morning" or "Good afternoon" goes a long way and is not dangerous to the greeter. Years ago when I was on a trip to Malawi, so many people asked for money or gifts, etc. When we queried the local leader regarding how to handle such requests since we obviously were unable to give to so many, we were told, "people in Malawi feel they have the right to ask, AND you have the right to say no." I have appreciated that information on numerous occasions. Not to say that people at our library have ever asked me for money, etc. Many of the people who come to the library from various socio-economic groups like to read or use the computer. Maybe they don't have a computer in their home spaces or don't have WIFI in those spaces. I have seen many people applying for jobs in the computer areas and many younger people (usually) who are playing games on the computers. Sometimes it is louder than I like in the upstairs computer area. If i really want quiet, I go downstairs where quiet is maintained. It seems a reasonable compromise so the younger people can have a higher level of normal sounds. This library is a delight and a wonderful space with many resources available to the community. Thanks to local people who fund it through their taxes and the government that supports it. sue wiley

I do think the wireless internet speed needs some serious improvement to be helpful or effective, since cell phone 5G is actually faster than the library WiFi. Lots of encouragement to attend local program events. Programming leans toward mostly children's and family programming options, and some look like very fun programs. Copying and printing is 10¢ per page, and the default print mode when wirelessly printing is double sided, so you can get six pages onto 3 paid pages. The staff didn't think wireless printing was possible, but when I attempted to print from my laptop on the wireless network to the network printer, it went through without issue, which was helpful for a document that I needed print from my laptop and not email to another computer. There's a collection of books, magazines, sometimes audio books and DVDs for sale for only $0.25 at the front if you want to pick up something to take to the beach that might get a little sandy or watery, or because you aren't a local library member. One of the surprising collection pieces are a set of cake pans and recipes for creative party celebrations.

I had to ask for help looking up a subject category because it seemed that you needed a library card number to use the computers. That's understandable, especially in a tourist town. The librarian helped us find what we need and our kids got to color a picture, play with a wooden train (quietly), and read some books while we waited out the rain. There was one very noisy little kiddo who was with us and the librarian did ask his mother to try to keep him a bit quieter, I assume from a patron complaint. I thought she handled it well and politely (she said "I can tell he's having fun!" in a friendly way), and to be fair, the kid was being VERY shriek-y while enjoying the train table. They also gave us a pen and a piece of paper to use for note-taking from one of the books, which I thought was nice. Thank you PCBPL for helping our kids have a wonderful day of reading and rescuing our trip.

I went in the other day to simply print one page from a document in an email. I didn't know where to start so I went to the info desk right as you walk in. There were three super eager, knowledgeable students there ready to help me. They told me I would need to put at least a dollar on a card to print. I told them I had no cash on me, but I had my debit card. They told me "no worries" and that it was .10 per page to print and handed me a card with .90 on it. Then the girl gave me verbal instructions about how to log in and print from their computers. She also told me to come back if I got stuck or had any other questions. I was able print my page without any difficulty because of their help! I also love that you can grab a Starbucks while you're in the library. So cool! I will explore other services offered here and write another review in the near future. Great experience!

I love using the whiteboards to organize my work plan for the day, and getting a Monster from the vending machine never hurts. Every time I'm on campus for the day, I use the microwave on the 1st floor to heat up my lunch. Be sure to bring headphones if you plan on working on the 1st or 2nd floor because it can get noisy, and if you're planning on coming during exam cram time good luck finding a seat. Strozier is one of my favorite parts of FSU!

Leaving Florida in the 1970s, i have neither seen nor used the current library. But I remember both the Spanish Revival structure behind the old City Hall and its later children's annex in what was an adjacent Spanish-style structure that once housed a former, large public restroom. And I remember sharing librarian Jane Kindall's joy in moving into a modern structure on the Marina. This structure was replaced, apparently, some time before Hurricane Michael. I credit the Library and Ms. Kindall's acquisition choices with helping to prepare me for a first class postgraduate education and a lifetime of research.
