I looked through the reviews and pictures prior to visiting and since there were no recent reviews…read moreI was not sure if it was going to look the same. I gave them a visit and I was impressed! The staff were helpful and friendly, there were several areas to sit and study (despite the size of the library), it was clean and well kept, furniture was clean, several computer stations, they have a quiet room and rooms to reserve for groups. I have visited several times and have not been disappointed.

I was passing through and needed to stop somewhere to get some work done. I googled the nearest…read morelibrary and this is where I ended up. Looked good when I first arrived. I enjoy small local libraries. Was well kept and good. I sat and began working. Unfortunately, I guess there was a shift change or something because within 15min the place became very loud and very active. The activity was fine but the loudness was odd. The woman employee at the front desk set the tone for that and everyone began interacting and speaking loudly. Endless flow of people engaging and talking with raised volume in the workspace. Most who were working and sitting in that area got up and left, which makes sense. When things slowed down with patrons no longer comign up to the main desk, the woman up front engaged other colleagues in conversation and was walking around the space and continued to speak as if it was her living room - loudly. And the other patrons who I guess didn't care about quiet took her lead and began using their outside voices. I tried to ignore it and continued working but the loud voices were super irritating and when the loud laughter started that was it. Quite unfortunate for a small community library. It is a cute place and my experience started great but the culture turned that late morning into early afternoon and was really bad. It was less a library environment and more like an active office space with people talking to each other across the room.

Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891 - January 28, 1960) was an African-American Harlem Renaissance…read moreauthor, folklorist, anthropologist, story teller, dramatist, and filmmaker. She sought to portray the experience and prejudice faced by African Americans in the early 20th century American South. Her most famous novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God which was published in 1937. She also wrote more than 50 short stories, plays, and essays. Hurston was born in Notasulga, Alabama, grew up in Eatonville, Florida, and spent the last two years of her life in Fort Pierce. She passed away in a St. Lucie welfare home after suffering a stroke. She is buried in the Garden of Heavenly Rest. She was largely unrecognized during her lifetime and came to prominence in the 1970's. The Zora Neal Hurston Branch Library was named for the author and is the first stop on the the Zora Neale Hurston Dust Tracks Heritage Trail, a series of 8 stops that were important in the life of Zora Neal Hurston during her time in Fort Pierce. Dust Tracks on a Road is the name of Zora Neal Hurston's autobiography. There is a large kiosk about Hurston outside of the front of the library. The library has a large resource of audio and visual material related to Zora Neal Hurston. On the walls of the library hang Ade Rossman's "Zora Art Series," a series of paintings that were commissioned in 2006 by the St. Lucie County Cultural Affairs Department. The library hosts lectures about topics relating to Hurston. The library also has other materials not related to Hurston that one would expect to find at a public library.

This is a very large library, I love their large study rooms. I've been to other libraries that…read morehave a few study rooms, this one has. I think nine of them plus conference rooms that you can request or reserve. They have a very large children section, a separate teen area, and I love that they always have out recommendations of books or movies, and it usually follows a theme. The parking lot is well maintained too, but I wish there were more lights at night.

The Palm Beach Gardens branch Library is a very large, spacious County library--and nicely laid…read moreout. 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.
