It is very spacious but has an incredible selection of just about everything imaginable in a library. Even though I no longer have small children, I poked my head into the Children's room and was very impressed. I know my kids would have loved it when they were younger. My friend actually lives closer to another library but prefers to come here because of the availability of everything. The bathrooms were clean and appeared to be well maintained and the parking lot was very generous.

Meeting rooms, help with so many local things, internet access. You name it. And just quiet place to get things done! This is probably my favorite location. The library staff here is wonderful. Always kind and so helpful. And bonus, even if you don't have a library card, they sell books as well. Most are in great or even brand new shape. Just for a small donation.

What an incredible first experience at the Bartram Trail Branch! My family and I recently moved to…read moreFlorida, and from the moment we walked through the doors, every single person we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They didn't just answer our questions, they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. A very special shoutout to Alex. I always get a little nervous telling people we're new to Florida because everything is unfamiliar, but Alex made us feel right at home. She was unbelievably patient, warm, and just an all-around amazing person. You can tell she truly loves helping people, and that kind of service is rare. If there were a way to write a letter to her manager, the library board, or even the Chamber of Commerce recognizing how wonderful she is, I absolutely would. Employees like Alex make a lasting impression and are the reason people keep coming back. Thank you to everyone at the Bartram Trail Branch for making our family feel so welcome. We walked in hoping to get library cards and walked out feeling like we had found a little piece of our new community. Five stars isn't enough!

Being a Duval resident, I can't check out books here. BUT one of my favorite things about this…read morelibrary is their book sale! They always have such a great selection of books to purchase. Paperbacks are $2 and hard covers are $3. Can't beat that! The librarians are so nice and helpful. And they have great areas to sit and read or study as well. It is definitely one of my favorite libraries in the area! And bonus - right now they're decorated for the 250th anniversary of America. So fun.

Every week, special events happen at branches all over the city. From author presentations like "Lit Chats" (ranging from local authors to James Patterson, yes, the James Patterson!) to special events like the Candlelight Concert series, there's something for everyone. PRO TIP: The $1M Memory Lab on the 4th floor of the Main Library downtown is FREE to use with a JPL card. Ask the Special Collections librarians for help, bring a thumb drive for downloads, and you're all set!

They may have some smaller rooms you can "rent" to work in or borrow, but not available the days I went as too busy. I think the town needs some else for all these kids activities.

Books for sale are at the entrance, and many of them are like new. You can even find some popular titles here. This location has a much larger selection of books and media than the Middleburg branch, which I usually go to. That's not to say the Middleburg location is lacking in any way. It's still my library of choice and played a huge role in my childhood, I have a lot of happy memories here. As an adult, I recently fell in love with the library all over again and consider it one of my safe spaces. No matter which location I go to, the librarians are always helpful and patient with my many questions. I think they're superheroes, to be honest. Like most book lovers, I always look forward to my library trips and am grateful for the great system and resources we have in Clay County.

It is large and spacious inside. It is also open and bright feeling. What I really love is that I have gotten back into listening to audiobooks while working and they partner with Libby to check out books and audiobooks online which is great. They have smart phone apps and have pretty much everything I have looked for and more. I recently got into my account after not using it for over a decade and I was able to email and get service within an hour while I was out of town and got everything resolved. I was able to pay the fines once I got back into town. It was great. Last time I was there I noticed they also have bus schedules for people if needed, they also have tax forms to print if you need them and there is ample parking. Super convenient! They also have a schedule online for activities for kids! Love that it is an active and community-centric library!

Inside there is a wide open space with an atrium above supported by hunched figures. One hallway has some great historic photos of Jacksonville.

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any downtown maps, walking history tour information, or even a prominently displayed history of the building itself!!! Come on J-ville, feature your beautiful architectural history!!! The hallway with photographs has an image of the building with other buildings including a hotel that were in the area before the great fire.

City Hall is located across the street from Hemming Plaza. You're going to have to park on the street and feed a meter (unless you have a handicapped parking permit in which case you can park for free and aren't required to feed the meters). Parking can be quite hard to find downtown, so bring some patience with you. I remember being amazed the first time I walked into City Hall because I wasn't expecting the inside of the building to be so beautiful. It's so large and clean. I was and still am very impressed with the way the COJ keeps City Hall maintained. It is a government building, so make sure not to bring in any weapons. I really shouldn't have to say that, but I know some people do have a concealed license permit and they carry them. It can be a little confusing to navigate the building, but there are plenty of people around to help you find the office you are looking for.
