There is a large parking lot in front here larger events (like car shows) are often held here. The building is 37000 square feet of space that allows it to serve as a vibrant hub for local residents. Their website states that their building houses, "...a meeting room, game room, concession area, gymnasium, and two dance studios. Whether it's a birthday party, social gathering, special event, or club meeting, we hope to be able to accommodate your needs" They offer a wide range of activities and amenities, including fitness facilities, meeting rooms, and recreational spaces. The center promotes community engagement through various programs such as fitness classes, art workshops, and community events. I recently went there for a group meeting. We met at one of the smaller meeting rooms. The staff was very friendly. The facility was clean and functional with a closet for extra tables and chairs. Overall, it a great place to hold a meeting or an event, either inside or out. For more detailed information and reviews, you can check out local community websites or visit the center's official website.

The staff here is friendly. There was a couple good vegan cookbooks in the cooking section. Overall though didn't really find too many of the book selection that I was drawn to. I found the selection of CDs here a bit underwhelming. They did have more Jimmy Buffet albums than I have ever seen at a library anywhere. If you are into Jimmy Buffet go check out the Port St John Public Library as you won't be disappointed.

In front of the church is a marker that is part of the Florida Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular and valued public history programs. The markers raise awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, forts, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, historic buildings, and churches like this one. Historic marker F-1037 was installed in 2018 by Brevard County Historical Commission, Brevard County Tourism Development Council, and the Florida Department of State. This church is a Florida Heritage Site. The first Roman Catholic Church in Brevard County, Florida, was St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Palm Bay, dedicated in 1914. One hundred Catholic families of Germanic and Slavonic heritage from the Midwest, settled in the area previously known as Tillman, Florida, around 1912. They were drawn to this area by the North Dakota-based Florida Indian River Catholic Colony corporation which advertised to them that they were starting a Catholic community in central Florida. In the beginning, the congregation was administered to by traveling clergy. When the corporation failed on its promise to build a church, the pioneers took it upon themselves to build the church on their own. The church was dedicated in 1914 by Bishop Michael J. Curley. In 1923, a rectory was built and the church's first resident priest arrived in 1924. For many years the church ministered to families who traveled here by wagon and boats from Melbourne and Eau Gallie. On December 3, 1987 the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places. This church is now surrounded by St. Joseph's Cemetery and continues to be used for special services.

Especially the people sitting at the side desk. Theres always a bunch of boomers taking up the table by themself. There's one old guy occupying a whole table just to charge his damn phone. The clean up guy is a CREEP, occupying the women's bathroom for most of the day. This is the closest library by me or else I wouldn't need to come here to deal with these idiots.

In front of the house is a marker that is part of the Florida Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular and valued public history programs. The markers raise awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, forts, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, churches, and historic buildings like this one. Historic marker F-750 was installed in 2012 by Commodore John Barry Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and the Florida Department of State. This house is a Florida Heritage Site. Funds for this marker were raised by the local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter who sold U.S. flags to earn money. According to the marker this house was one of the first in Melbourne Beach. The Florida-Vernacular style house was built in 1890 of native pine and cypress for Jacob Fox by Captain Rufus W. Beaujean. Both men were original investors in the Melbourne Beach Company, later named the Melbourne Beach Improvement Company. Building supplies for the house were brought to Melbourne Beach on the boat Frost Line. Their was no electricity, and water was from an artesian well. Jacob Fox and his family used the home as a vacation retreat where they hunted, fished, and socialized. Garrett E. Ryckman, a major shareholder in the Melbourne Beach Company, purchased the house in 1908. The Ryckmans family moved to Melbourne Beach in 1908 with their daughter Ruth joining them in 1910. Ruth Ryckman was well known in the community as a private nurse for many years. She left one final gift to the town in 1979, the house upon her passing. In 2012 the Ryckman house was restored. Today the home sits in Ryckman park which also contains the Town Hall, the Melbourne Beach Community Center which was the Women's Club, a playground, several gazebos and the Melbourne Beach Pier. Periodically the Ryckman House Historical Preservation and Awareness Board will open the home for free tours. Even if it is closed you can peek into the window and get a glimpse into the past.
