    A roving reference…read more The regional library at New Smyrna Beach is a large building with many of the usual amenities you would find in a library this size. Lots of books, periodicals, computers and even some very cool art and pictures. Definitely a nicely designed and very pleasant place. The library is usually crowded but since it is open and spacious that usually isn't a problem unless a group ends up standing where you happen to want to be. The parking lot is large and even though it is frequently pretty filled up you can usually find a spot. The library has lots of programs and events including book clubs, poetry readings, kid's stuff, yoga, tax advice and even some music. Definitely a very community conscious facility and not just a place for books. Because of it's large size and the amount of people running in and out, the library can't possibly have all the ambiance and warm welcoming feeling of smaller buildings. However it does have two very cool things most other libraries don't have. The first is an ocean. All right the ocean is a few miles away but it still is cool to be able to go get a book or whatever and then go down to the beach to read. The second thing is something called a roving reference. A while back a paralibrarian named Linda Dahlquist decided that some people, especially older folks and kids, might be intimidated going to a reference desk. So she got a cart, put her laptop on it and goes around asking people if they need help. A very cool idea and one of the reasons she won the 2012 paralibrarian of the year award. New Smyrna is a large very and popular library. Not much history or anything special about the architecture. However they do everything in their power to make sure every person that comes in here feels special.

    Very easy on the…read moreeyes Lake Helen is a small town, it doesn't even have a traffic light. It does have lots of cool old buildings, some unusual stuff and some cool new things like an impressive library. The library was built about ten years ago but looks like it has been here for a long, long time. Just kind of blends in so well with the surrounding area and is ascetically so pleasant to look at. The cool design, architecture and porch has a very small town welcoming feel that is completely different from the usual recently built, functional, but ascetically boring libraries that are so typical in this part of Florida. This library looks like it would be quite at home in some small New England town or island. The inside of the library is comfy but certainly not roomy. It does manage to fit all the modern conveniences like computers, periodicals, DVDs and of course a nice collection of books. Definitely has a pragmatic side to it's wonderful aesthetics. Best of all it has a huge bulletin board that lists all the local events and programs. A great place to keep track of what's going on in this quirky little town. The librarians I met were patient, friendly and sweet, every though the library was crowded and they were probably wondering why the hell I was asking all these stupid questions. One of them took the time to tell me the story about how all the books were moved from the old library next door. They just formed a human chain and handed the books, one by one, to the new building. Something that would have been very cool to watch. The Lake Helen library is certainly not the largest or most useful library around. However it definitely one of the coolest and welcoming.

The exterior looks like a fresh renovation of an old house and inside there are modern lighting and window touches. The library operationally functions well. Books selections are a little light but take advantage of the county wide borrwing policies to flesh out any missing items. Digital options are many starting with Overdrive, Axis360 and Freading for books and a really nice addition via the Zinio app to read a large selection of digital magazines that normally have to be paid for. After inspection, this is a great library that packs a lot of punch in a small package. Wise use of space and providing media that people will actually use instead of accumulating junk helps this library thrive.

There are three rocking…read morechairs right outside the library which after leaving the library sat w/ my friend for a bit to have a chat. Inside the library is small yet there is a chess board right by the fiction books. Me & my friend played a game. I won as my friend gave up after I had a significant lead so won by default. The Mims Library has the largest selection of James Patterson books I have ever seen. As you might know he is a super prolific author yet am not into his work. The vegan cookbook selection was small & didn't really see too many books that stood out for my own personal tastes yet if you tastes are similar to mine don't worry as you can get books shipped from other libraries here. The music selection was right on. Whoever is ordering the CDs here is doing an excellent job as the Mims Library probably has the best music selection of all 17 libraries in Brevard County & have been to nearly all of them. An example of the selections here: The Doors Fiona Apple Nas & Damien Marley: Hip Hop meets Reggae Album Tom Waits classic records Leonard Cohen classic records rare Pink Floyd records etc...etc I did pick up a Stellar Seller "Bohemian Rhapsody DVD" that tells about the life of Freddie Mercury the lead singer of Queen. My friend loved this film so look forward to watching it yet only have until Monday for this selection w/ no renewals since it is a Stellar Seller. Love the clean aesthetic of the palm trees on the grounds surrounding the library. The staff was friendly. Will definitely return if in the area!

I believe I have never called one cute before. The Mims library is very definitely cute. Not much to look at from the outside, just your typical cheap looking building. But once inside the library comes alive. All kinds of cool posters and art on the wall with cool chairs and displays. Certainly not a large place, the library is pretty much right smack in the middle of nowhere. However it is such a cute and friendly place that I felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door. The library does have computers and free wi-fi as well as a fairly large community room and study area. However most library have these. It's all the small things that the people in the library added that makes this a five star library. A very cool library that is as much fun as it is useful A library that is really, really cute.

Upon arriving, there was parking all around the building. After I parked, I noticed there was a round about to walk around outside and a couple spots by the ponds to read! I went inside the library, and it was very organized. Spots around downstairs and upstairs to study or read. There were private rooms for rent. For the most part, I was able to read and concentrate. However, towards the end, there were kids upstairs that were being loud and I couldn't concentrate anymore. I didn't know this library was different than the Orange County library. I thought it was the same, but thankfully, getting a new library card was simple. I found the 2 books I was looking for! There's book returns both inside and outside of the library! My favorite thing about this spot is the architecture outside!

Because of the unique architecture, there are several floors and it feels like a magical maze inside. There are small areas throught to read, explore and use your computer. There's even a little multimedia section! There is also a special events center next door, connected by a little patio area. The staff here are so helpful and friendly! The location is so bright and clean that you can't help but feel happy the moment you walk in! Happy adventures to you!!

    A Gem for All Ages -- 5-Star Experience at Daytona Beach Public Library…read more This library is a true local treasure. From its impressive size to the thoughtful, hands-on amenities, it's easily one of the most welcoming and resource-rich public spaces we've encountered. As a parent of a toddler, I especially appreciate the expansive kids' area. It's filled with engaging materials, from early reader books to sensory toys, pretend play stations, and a generously sized indoor play zone. My child loves building with large Legos, exploring the dollhouses and kitchenette, and tinkering with pretend tools at the workbenches. The wooden train tracks are fun too -- though you'll have to bring your own train engine! The variety here is outstanding, making every visit feel fresh and exciting. The library's offerings go far beyond children's resources. There's a remarkable adult STEM innovation area housed in a dedicated space donated by Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. It features sewing machines, a 3D printer, vinyl cutter, and more. Most equipment requires appointments (often booked up about a week in advance), but once you're in, the possibilities are inspiring. One of the staff members gave us an incredibly thorough 30-minute tour -- the best I've ever had at any library -- marked by passion, knowledge, and genuine hospitality. Much of this wonder is made possible by generous donors like the Robinson family, Embry Riddle, Friends of the Library, and many others who've helped shape this space into what it is today. Whether you're a curious adult, a creative teen, or a parent looking to enrich your child's day, the Daytona Beach Public Library has something for you. Highly recommend. Five stars without hesitation.
