I think nine of them plus conference rooms that you can request or reserve.

After passing through the bathroom/book check-in entryway area and through the security panels, an inviting middle walkway lined with dvds invites one to browse. Modern comfortable seating - living-room style - provides an inviting space to chill and peruse one's findings. There is a 'local authors' section next to the security panels when you walk in, a nice touch. There is a room just for teenagers and young adult fiction; I would have loved this room if it had existed when I was a teenager! It includes tables and computers. Awesome for teens to have a 'safe' space away from adults and small children. The children's area is quite spacious, with a large entryway and open corridors between sections. The area is placed far from the regular library-goers so that children might squeal without disturbing too many patrons. It also features: lots of lights entering from windows, whimsical wooden bookcases and chairs, and a family bathroom (complete with child-size toilet and sink). The leather seating is pretty worn out, but otherwise the space is well-kept. The parking lot features a ton of parking spaces and a drive-through book drop-off.

Barnes & Noble has become a sad shadow of its former self…read more This B&N in particular is poorly staffed and dirty. Awful Starbucks too, the few black coffees I've purchased are consistently burnt. It's pretty much impossible to find a staff member unless you're checking out, and often times there's long lines you have to wait though because there's one cashier behind the desk. There has been only one time I've seen an employee at the circulation desk. They didn't carry two out of the three books I asked about, and the one she told me was in stock was not on the shelves when I went to look. I approached her again (waiting through another long line of desperate book buyers) asking if she could direct me to the aisle the book I wanted was in, and she told me her system didn't have a book section listed. Can you imagine going to Publix, asking where the cereal is, and the cashier doesn't know? I remember when you shopped here and the employees not only knew where the book you wanted was, they could walk you right to where it was on the shelf and other sections where the author was listed. Also, why are there so many games and toys now? I must've seen five aisles of plastic light up toys and stuffed animals for kids, the cheap stuff you buy for your neighbor's cousin's birthday party. The kid's section was so sad to walk around. Poorly made picture books with AI-slop cartoons. Maybe a small handful of classics like Madeline and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. No chapter books as far as I could see. Instead of brightening our children's minds with imagination and literary challenges, they're dumbing them down with cheap content. I remember spending hours here with my Dad as a kid, paging through books while he sat with a coffee and magazine. I hope, so so much, that it can return to this.

From what I read, Barnes & Noble's business began as far back as 1873 by Charles Barnes that…read morestarted a book business from his home in Wheaton, Illinois. The bookstore opened their first brick & mortar store on Fifth Avenue at 18th Street in New York City which is today the flagship store. Barnes & Noble grew worldwide with its variety of reading material which included general trade books, academic titles, textbooks, and medical books. As the world turns into the digital age, Barnes & Noble began to upgrade their stores with innovation, contemporary aesthetic with books at the center, grew their food and beverage offerings, and comfortable seating for a friendly customer experience. The Palm Beach Gardens location is large, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The book price values are reasonable, and the other amenities are enjoyable. I am still one of those individuals that love to hold a read a hard cover book. But do not get me wrong, I also read books online.

Because we have been having snowy and rainy weather at this time of the year, I used the Abe feature to ask the bookstore owner to be especially careful wrapping the book, to avoid water damage. He wrote back promptly and said he would. The book arrived with lots of protection against moisture and lots of padding. The latter is important because modern books have very poor bindings generally. During D-Day, the Allies designed a system of rubber skirting to allow Sherman tanks to float and be launched out from the beach. The design had a mixed record with many tanks sinking or floundering. If the owner of Liberty Book Store was alive in 1944 and was asked to use his waterproofing talent on the tanks, more would have come ashore and the Allies would have been in Berlin before the Red Army. The online order invoice showed that the owner would ship via media mail. But the book came much sooner - - almost as fast a Priority Mail shipment! This was a very positive experience and I will contact this store first when I am seeking other books.

The guide at the top knows a lot of history and is more than willing to take your photo. The view from the top is stunning. I like that there are resting spots as you climb that you can rest and look out. The authentic Seminole Chickee Hut was a nice shady spot to talk with other guests. The admission is reasonable, and it all goes to restoration and staffing. I passed this lighthouse so many times when I was growing up, so it was a thrill to visit and and climb. There is a stunning banyan tree that is very impressive. There is also a dock where you can watch the passing boat traffic. We happened to see a pair of Manatees, which was a real plus.

In 1942 the US Army established the top secret Camp Murphy in what is now Jonathan Dickinson State…read morePark. I enjoy learning about the WWII history of South Florida so it was very interesting to find this historical sign across from the parking lot at the base of Hobe Mountain Tower. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, Dec. 7, 1941 launched the United States into WWII. The Army Signal Corps founded in 1860, had been experimenting since the 1930's with a new technology called radar. The Signal Corps School in Fort Monmouth, N.J. was the main radar training school in the 20's and 30's but with the start of the war the government wanted to set up radar training in a place with better year round climate like South Florida. That was how Camp Murphy became the base of operations for Southern Signal Corps School during World War II. The vast land and vegetation were also perfect for camouflaging their operations. Camp Murphy was named in honor of Col. William Herbert Murphy, a pioneer in the development of radio beams and equipment for military aircraft. He was shot down by the Japanese Feb. 3, 1942, over the Indonesian Islands in the Pacific Ocean where he was killed in action. Camp Murphy covered 11,364 acres and housed 854 officers and 5,752 enlisted men. The Signal Corps School in Martin County was the first of its kind to be built in the United States. The first building built at the new camp was the Area Engineer Office. The camp was a complete city with close to 1,000 buildings that included a bank, post office, telegraph, movie theatre, bowling alley, bank, two churches, recreation halls, mess halls, library, lecture halls, gas station, lookout tower and a telephone system. In 1944. Camp Murphy was decommissioned and used for migrant housing during the fall and winter of 1945. In 1948 buildings were torn down although you can still see some remains in the park today. On June 9, 1947, the property was transferred from the US government to the State of Florida for a State Park and in 1950 Jonathan Dickinson State Park opened to the public. Marker F-624 was installed by the Friends of Jonathan Dickinson State Park and The Florida Department of State in 2008. Behind the marker is a display with more information about the camp and pictures. At the time this camp was in operation very little would have known about it outside of the military personnel stationed here. Not even the surrounding community would have known what was going on. It's secrecy was key to its success. It is only now that we can recognize this important piece of military history in our midst and appreciate all of the soldiers who worked here to win the war.

I requested to overnight a package weighing less than a pound on Friday, the 19th. I was informed…read morethat overnight service was no longer available. I then asked for the next fastest option and mentioned that I needed the package to be insured. I was recommended Priority Mail, for which I paid $100. The package took two days just to arrive in Miami, where it then sat for another two days without moving. When I contacted customer service for an update, I was told that Priority is actually one of the slowest shipping methods because it requires a signature at every step of the delivery process. As much as I understand the explanation, I specifically asked to overnight the package. Customer service also informed me that the shipping cost was non-refundable because it wasn't sent via Priority Express. I was told I could intercept the package for an additional fee, since it wouldn't reach its destination in time. I would have gladly paid the difference had I been informed. Tomorrow marks a full week, and the package still doesn't show as being on its way back. This has been frustrating and disappointing, especially given the urgency and the amount paid. Almost everyone in there acts as if you're interrupting their favorite movie when talking to them.
