Been wanting to come here for sometime now but I always forget about coming. I was looking for a…read morespot to read and that's when I remembered the library. 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!

We were actually here to attend their annual "Books & Boots" event. I love this library so much…read more This library is huge. There are so many books and I love the layout. 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!!

It's sad to see libraries don't seem to get there level of love they used to as a public service. Thank you for the childhood memories! I'm no longer in Orange County, but you'll always have a place in my heart!

From balloon animal courses, fiber arts, Renaissance events, resume help, or language learning, this location has it all! Plus, the staff has always been super kind and helpful. I've personally taken a couple of foamsmithing classes where you make props for cosplay. In Foamsmithing I we made Deathstroke masks. In II we made pokeballs. Both classes were a blast and I can't wait for the next one!

Although it's not very large, they have everything you'd expect for a library: wide selection of books, computers, and multimedia. They also have a very good children's program that goes throughout the week. Pro tip: check out the mini park nestled at the back of the parking lot. Great place to enjoy a peaceful minute or eat lunch.

Tons of outlets to plug in your devices wherever you want to sit. There is also a gallery space and other displays throughout the library with artwork. Also, one of the most interesting automated storage and retrieval facility systems I've ever seen. It is super tall and stores over 12,000 bins holding numerous boxed items in a temperature controlled environment to protect the items.

It had a great mix…read moreof book reading, fun interactive songs, and even a short but adorable puppet show at the end. They also had a craft station set up with all the supplies ready for the kids to get creative. The library itself is on the smaller side and a bit worn down, and the children's book area felt a little cramped. But there's a cozy corner with toys and puzzles that kept my twins entertained. Overall, a fun way to spend a couple of hours with your toddler!

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service provided at the Fairview Shores Branch of the Orange County Library System 32810 In particular, I would like to recognize two exceptional staff members -- Colie and his colleague -- whose professionalism, warmth, and dedication have made a lasting impression. They consistently demonstrate what exemplary public service looks like: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to the well-being of every patron who walks through the door. It is evident that these individuals take great pride in their work and in the community they serve. Their courteous demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond reflect not only their own character but also the high standards of the Orange County Library System as a whole. Libraries are cornerstones of the communities they serve, and team members like Colie and his colleague are a testament to why Fairview Shores Branch holds such an important place in the hearts of its patrons. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to them both. They are a true asset to your institution and to the Fairview Shores community.

I'm a huge library nerd. Always have been since elementary school when my dad first took me to the…read moremassive South Beach library on 14th street (It's no longer there anymore :( ) and that day, I checked out the book limit which was 20 books. Did I read all the books? No, but as a 7-year-old who hardly went out anywhere, that place was paradise. That's why the public library system is such a valuable asset; especially where children are involved. It keeps them out of trouble and in a place where they can actually learn something. Fast forward to many years later and my heart still skips a beat whenever I enter a Library. This Library in particular is small when compared to other libraries in central Florida, but it's also one of the newer ones so it's clean, well kept, and has a Lab room, but also a Technology room should you sign up for one of their courses. Which by the way is completely free. I try to take advantage of that when I can, just the other day I took a: "How to make a book charm class", and it was a delightful experience. I've seen that you can even learn how to program video games if you wish to go down that avenue, or if you wanted to, you could sign up to become familiar with various computer programs, even how to build a web-site, all free, why would you not take advantage of that? Other than books, you are able to check out DVD's and movies here as well. The staff is super friendly here, definitely will be back.

Signing up online was easy peasy and parking is plentiful. The location is a bit hidden so you'll have to navigate with gps or carefully watch signs.
