I like this library. They have news papers I see people reading. I even learned something new here…read more I ordered the Jim Crow book online for pick up. But something said just go find the book myself since I was already there. So I went to the front desk and asked the nice lady about how I can find the book. The experience was weird. It was like she didn't want me to find it myself so I just told her I will figure it out. She walked around the desk and just followed behind me. She explained how I was able to find the book once we made it to the section. The service here varies. I truly wanted to figure it out on my own or just shown how to so I could do the rest. One time I was talking to a lady about her kids reading allot of books I was just amazed. And one librarian just interrupted our conversation as if she didn't want us to just talk. I think I was reading about ww1 or ww2 at the time. I do hope it gets better.

I liked the paintings here & some classic old maps of interest of FL such as the Everglades. I feel the items here aren't as smart as the Cocoa Beach library. I didn't find the new books, CDs, or DVDs to be that interesting. The travel guide books were quite dated as many were 2005 or so meaning over a decade old. I did find the cookbooks here to be quite alright as they had many solid vegan, vegetarian, & plant based cookbooks along w/ an eclectic array of other classic cookbooks from various other cuisines of the world. By far the cookbooks here are the best thing going for this library. Good thing you can order items from any of the other libraries to be picked up here.

I appreciated the display of some interesting antique Atlas from around the world. The strongest items on hand were the music CDs as found quite a good number of selections to my liking. The only thing I didn't like was the cases the CDs were stored in were a bit oversized making them a bit inconvenient for storage in a car or transporting them someplace. Smaller jewel cases would have been appreciated yet did like that these were more solid w/ less likelihood of breaking during transport. The staff here is friendly. I just wish there were more items from books to DVDs etc to my liking.

I stopped into VFW Post 10131 in Cape Canaveral yesterday at about 12:15 PM for what I thought…read morewould be a quick lunch. When I walked in, the place was basically empty. There were employees in the back and one elderly gentleman sitting at the bar. I ordered a sandwich and a Diet Coke. Nothing complicated. I figured I would eat, be done, and be back out the door in about 25 minutes. Instead, I sat there and waited. While I was waiting, more and more people came in. Before long, the bar was nearly full. Then I started watching people who came in well after me receive their food. Some were nearly finished eating while I still had nothing. I did not make a scene or keep bothering anyone. I waited patiently because I assumed there had to be some reasonable explanation. Finally, after about 48 minutes, I asked the waitress about my sandwich. She told me there were "three in front of you." Three in front of me? I walked into an almost empty bar. How did I suddenly end up with three orders in front of mine while people who arrived after me were already eating? Then she told me not to worry because it was coming out and she could "hear her." At that point I stood up and told her I did not have any more time to wait. She said she would get it to go. So I waited again. Another approximately eight minutes. She went into the back and disappeared. Still no sandwich. Still no to go order. Still no explanation. After nearly an hour, I finally walked out. And before anyone focuses on the Diet Coke, let me address that too. I had taken a sip or two and left without paying because the waitress had disappeared into the back after telling me she would get my food to go. I had already waited close to an hour. If VFW Post 10131 wants payment for the Diet Coke, send me the tab. I will gladly pay it. But let's keep that in perspective. I could have bought 50 cases of Diet Coke for what the time I lost that day was worth to me because of the way this was handled. The Coke is not the issue. The issue is nearly an hour of wasted time, terrible communication, and watching people who arrived after me get served and nearly finish their meals while I continued to sit there waiting for a simple sandwich. I am not saying I know what was going through anyone's mind. I am saying exactly what I witnessed. I arrived when the place was almost empty. I ordered before most of the people who later filled the bar. They got their food. I did not. After 48 minutes I was told there were three orders in front of me. Then I was told my food was coming. Then I was told it would be boxed to go. Then I waited another eight minutes and still got nothing. What makes this more disappointing is that I am not a tourist passing through Cape Canaveral. I own property here in the Cape. I spend my money here and deliberately try to support smaller local establishments instead of always giving my money to large corporations and chain restaurants. I like seeing the little places make the money. I like seeing money stay in the community. That is one of the reasons I chose to stop here in the first place. But supporting local does not mean my time is worthless. I am not a member, and after this experience I was certainly left with the impression that being a nonmember put me somewhere near the bottom of the priority list. Maybe that was not intentional. Maybe there is another explanation. But that is exactly how it looked from my side of the bar. If nonmembers are welcome, then treat them like they are welcome. If members or regulars receive priority, be upfront about it before taking someone's order and letting them sit there for nearly an hour. Had someone simply told me, "We are backed up and this could take close to an hour," I would have thanked them and gone somewhere else. Instead, I was allowed to sit there while people arriving after me were served. I wanted to support a local place. Instead, I walked away feeling like my business and my time meant absolutely nothing. Nearly an hour for a sandwich that never arrived, while people who came in after me were already finishing their meals, says pretty much everything that needs to be said.
