All Libraries only allow residents to have a card and you need proof of residency. This has been policy since libraries have started and in all cities. Nothing new here.I use my Dad's card. Librarians are far from lowly they are among the most educated folks out there.

This is a fine community library. I suspect that person who looks down on librarians has no idea…read moreof what it takes to become a librarian. The ones I have dealt with are courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. I have to wonder if the people who look down on librarians aren't maybe the ones who white-out words in library books and replace the writing with what they think is better. With no respect for library property and none whatsoever for authors. If you think can do better, write a book yourself. In the meantime, leave someone else's books alone.

The square footage of the Freedom branch may be smaller, but they are well allocated for their size. They have computers available as well as audio books, cd's and dvds. I was also impressed with the lending system they have with the rest of the Marion County libraries. The magazine of inter-location activities and programs is appropriate for all ages. They even have books for sale and even occasional sale events! As my father used to tell me, a library card is a key to the world, and beyond!

Being a stay at home mom, it can be hard to find activities to take your child to and even just getting out the house is a mission. I'm so grateful for this awesome community event. I hope many others can benefit from taking their children to this library. It is full of life, love, and literature. All for free. This is what makes a country great. Thanks for reading my corny rant! :)

Libraries are where it all begins. And this consequential Little Free Library was built and…read morededicated in 2019 by my beautiful friend, Safety Harbor Yelper Rachael M., as a tribute to my late, older Brother, who was an avid book lover and creative writer. The vibrant emerald green (also his Birthstone) enclosure and shiny silver tin roof is purposely located in the heart of Citrus County, where he lived, for all to flip through. Our family regularly maintains this creative book exchange to promote literacy and the amorousness of reading, by literally filling this library with some of the books from his personal collection. But, anyone may take a book or bring a book to share with their community...and inspire minds. My most favorite part of this atheneum is simple...it's sitting on the park bench, under the canopy of the old Oak tree, gathering with our family and exploring new adventures between the pages of a book.

4 words: FREE LANGUAGE EXCHANGE PROGRAM…read more This review is specifically for the Tower Branch Road location of the Alachua County Library District. This location is near and dear to my heart, because it is located on Tower Road and in a close proximity to Gainesville's best schools and many families of various nationalities that use the library space in an amazing way, as a community center for learning. Tower Branch Library is also very unique because of the free language exchange program they offer. At the time, I was able to volunteer as an English language tutor to a wonderful group of Korean and Mandarin speaking adults. Along the way, making many lifetime friends and acquaintances. Also, learning some Korean in the process. As you can see, I HIGHLY recommend their language exchange program at this location. It is a rare find. Many people that I have talked to say that public libraries are a daycare center for the homeless, aging, and children. At this location, that is very far from the truth. This is the best community based, learning environment library that I have been to. The management and librarians at this location are so down-to-earth, kind, and organized. I was blown away by their professionalism throughout the year that I volunteered there. The Alachua County Library district is funded in many ways, but I do notice the public library fee on my family's monthly escrow property payment. It is not that much per month and is totally worth it.
