This is a great library. My closest library was at Mid-County Library at Forrest Nelson in Port…read moreCharlotte, Fl.. But that library got demolished in hurricane Ian in 2022. So sad. I hear rumors they may rebuild. Hope so. Anyhow, this library on Aaron St. is great and they have been busy trying to fill in for the the closed library. And I confess I love the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. I donate and buy many books from the used book stores by the libraries. I just read (from their used book store) the play A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. I confess I never read it before and it was a fun fast read. Then I found the play on television and watched it. Loved them both.

A mid day drive over the Charlotte Harbor bridge into downtown Punta Gorda still gives the small…read morecoastal town that quaint charm. A few blocks into the historical district and any leisurely visitor would know this town has a few stories to go along with its history. A century long timeline which spawned an alumni of masterminded speakers, influential authors, and entrepreneurs ahead of their time. A pride that earned the town rights for 29 mural dedications alongside some of the downtowns most notable business. These larger than life paintings have been selected and maintained by Punta Gorda Historical Society. The explicit details are time stamps of Punta Gorda s most notable moments in its history. Each carefully aligned in a sanctuary like setting like prehistoric carvings inside a cave. As timeless as stain glass windows inside a church. One might say Punta Gorda could be manifested as a sanctuary of time. Making the recently proposed 30th Mural a most fitting choice alongside PG most established sanctuary. The 111 year old haven of safe kept books. The Punta Gorda library on Shreve St. Each title in its rightful place. As if they were pieces of a puzzle connecting a century worth of stories to the Big Pictures throughout the sanctuary of time.

I agree with the people from Lee. I spent two years down there and used the south library off…read moreGladiolus (I believe it was on Bass.) and the north Fort Myers just over the Edison bridge. Unlike what is left of the Charlotte libraries, I never left a Lee county library empty handed. Unfortunately, I believe the reason for that is the difference in the size of the population. I'm sure Lee gets a much larger amount of funding. So much so that they have enough books to actually seperate them by type, making it easier to find what you're looking for. There is no excuse I can think of to not have a complete set of a series though. Has happened to me enough times that I no longer take out any part of a series. I tend to just be glad we have a library at all considering the state of things today. Overall I believe these people are doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

Libraries are just wonderful aren't they? Especially this one. There is always something going on,…read morethe city does a good job advertising events through the local libraries. There is something for every one of all ages! From toddlers to seniors! This one is connected to Suncoast Technical College so I had no idea there was a library in here for years, it has a beautiful fountain out front with big gaters! I spotted one on one of their off days. It is located really close to a big deep canal right off the freeway and I always see gaters there so I'm not surprised, just be aware when outside! Florida is crazy man!! Aaaanyways.. besides that the staff is really nice and informative and always decorate the place real cute and creative during the holidays/season changes and events like the Renaissance Day! That was a fun that they used to display so many other things they have to offer like their 3D printer, fancy labeler and other things, I'll update this soon after I go back to find out more for you. ;) There are plenty to do for kids, lots of private rooms in the back for meetings, it's a nice clean library with cool perks like a teen center with a t.v. And play set you can borrow. An honorary jigsaw puzzle case and lots more. You can walk to the book store inside the building and take the elevator up (although I think it's mostly for students) there is a restaurant that sells food on specific days (you gotta look up the details) sometime the book store has fun sales like fill a bag for $5, we got a few bags in spring. Great deal! Otherwise this is the location for local voting during election season and other events.

What a gorgeous library! Full of so many beautiful things to see and do, lots of rooms and…read moreactivities. Including extra book stores and shop. Which is located right when you walk in next to the bathrooms, unfortunately it stank real bad like fresh cigarettes when I came in I was shocked! Like c'mon.. there are kids here, unless it was a customer who JUST came out, someone really should tell the employee that works there that it's a BIG problem. Otherwise this place is just WOW! Soooo beautiful so clean, so interesting. The tall wooden ceilings are a show stopper and the hot air balloon decor just stole my heart. I love how much art was displayed in this library and the receptionists in the back have always been so sweet and attentive. Lots of cool activities for all ages, just check their website for updates.

They have a great selection and I love the used book section outside where I get a lot of my vacation reads. They are so inexpensive that I can leave them behind in the resort library for others to enjoy. Support local. I know I do!
