It certainly has come a long way from the first public library that I remember, which opened in 1956 in the basement of The Columns when that building was located at Park and Adams (where the Doubletree Hotel is now located). Now The Columns sits on a corner of the property where this library was built and the library sits on the former site of an earlier version of Leon High School. They have a good selection of all the usual library offerings of books, periodicals, CDs, DVD's and even digital downloads of current books. I even saw a poster recently at our branch library that indicated you can now download graphic novels/comics. Our Tallahassee Genealogical Society maintains a genealogy research section at this library as well. I personally enjoy being able to search the library catalog online so I can place a hold on a book I want to check out and have it delivered to my branch library or being able to renew checkouts when I take more than the 3 weeks checkout period to finish a book.

    I am an older student working on a Master's degree at FSU. I took a tour of Strozier during…read moreorientation last year and remember being quite overwhelmed with the size of the library and the amount of services offered. 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!

    Whenever I'm swamped with work, sitting on the 2nd or 3rd floor of Strozier gets the job done! Ever…read moresince freshman year, I've been coming here in my most stressful times whether it's cramming before an 8am test or rushing to submit an assignment due at midnight. 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!

    A little known resource for most Tallahasseans that has fallen on hard times since Wall Street…read morenearly put us all in bread lines back in 2008. The State Archives used to have it's own comfortable, attractive and reasonably equipped space on the first floor. Severe budget cuts and other state agency demands on space forced the State Library and State Archives to move into one space together. Neither has what they had before as a result. Subsequent state budgets have not been kind either. Their current space is cramped and totally lacking in any decor. Then again, many libraries have never been about style or appearance. What is important is the substance of their collection and that they have. There are several computers available and they have a few modern computer microfilm readers as well as an old school microfilm reader. There are several tables with chairs to use while doing research. They have the state's major daily newspapers to read. There is a display of new books to browse and some shelves of books. Most of their collection is in "the stacks" and have to be retrieved for you. You do not have to be a state employee to get a library card and check out books. However, don't think this will solve your dilemma of getting your hands on the latest bestseller that has a long waiting list at the Leon County Library. The State Library mission is to serve as a resource for state government so their collection is heavy on non-fiction, particularly anything related to Florida. They do have fiction, just don't expect it to be brimming with multiple copies of the latest bestsellers. The State Archive part of the collection is a genealogist researchers dream. Their computers give you access to Ancestry, Newspaper Archive, Fold3 and other resources by virtue of their subscription to those websites. They have a huge collection of research resources for all states with a heavier emphasis on Florida. Both the library and arrive collections can be searched online so you can come prepared by doing some looking from the comfort of your home. You cannot take bags into the library, but they provide lockers for storing your stuff while you are in the library. No pens allowed so bring pencils or use theirs. Visitor parking is available adjacent to the R. A. Gray Building and you can save the $5 parking fee by asking for a token at the library desk where you check in. There is breakfast and lunch available at The Egg Express on the ground floor if you get hungry. The Museum of Florida History is also located on the ground floor if you want to make a full Florida experience of it.
