Recently, Jeff Gray, a kind and quiet activist and first amendment auditor who has a YouTube…read morechannel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, stood with his handmade sign that says, 'God Bless the Homeless Vets'... not panhandling or being loud an obnoxious... outside the library. On public land, totally legal. Sarah, the manager at the library told him he wasn't wanted and he must be at least 50 feet away, across the street. He respectfully told her that he was on public land and that he was fine were he was. She sent security out to tell him to leave. He stayed. A gaggle of 'Karens' came out to tell him how wrong he was and one called 911, lying to the operator by saying he was getting loud, though he was the quietest one there. The police came, and informed the library staff that they were wrong and that Jeff was right, that he didn't have to leave just because they didn't like the way he looked or his message, 'God Bless Homeless Vets'. Betcha none of them served our country as they look down upon others who have. Maybe they should read the Constitution there at the library. You embarrassed yourself, Sarah, for all to see. Here is the video, and please notice the kindness that was bestowed on Jeff by a caring resident before Sarah and the Karen gagglers entered the chat. Sarah, you are not a king or tyrant but a public servant. Learn. Grow. Do better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqa-GH46xbw

Actually part of St Augustine, it is somewhat isolated from the city and is on Anastasia island A library that is very mundane and boring seen from the outside, it becomes simply stunning once you start to look around the interior. Incredible birdhouses, lighthouses, fantastic scenes of indigenous birds and wildlife and other incredible works of art are everywhere. The kid's room is a wonderful place where young imaginations can run wild. Sure the library has books and computers but it is the art and decor that makes this library very, very special. An ordinary place for books that was turned into a very, very cool place to walk slowly and see unique things that will stimulate and excite.

They offer classes and have programs for kids, etc. I used it a lot when my kids were younger and personally started reading for leisure recently. I had discovered some apps that enable you to borrow e-books so I had to come renew my library card today as it expired. While waiting I perused around and saw a CD section for music. Quite a collection to include a good chunk of The Rolling Stones catalog. I may have to come back more often. I did notice the librarian at the front counter was the same one over the last (at least) 15 years. Congrats to her as her demeanor is as pleasant as it was back then.

The collection includes maps, photographs, vertical subject files, church records, circuit court cases, city government records, manuscript collections, circuit court records, and biographical files.

The Research Library is a specialized, closed-stack library, with the exception of a small reference collection in the main reading room; the librarians will retrieve what you need. There is no charge to use the library but there are charges for photocopies and reproductions. The library collects all things related to St. Augustine and St. Johns County. Hours: Tuesdays through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Research Library is closed on Thanksgiving Day, and the day after.

I moved to Ponte Vedra about three and a half years ago and immediately got a library card…read more Growing up in Pennsylvania I would often walk to the library as a teen and check out books on a regular basis. I have tried to do the same as an adult. This library branch is about a twenty minute drive from my home so I usually go about once a month. Parking has never been a problem. The building looks a little older but they always have plenty of books to check out and read. There is a section up front with staff recommendations as well as a section called Lucky Day with popular books you can only check out for one week. I have used both of those sections in the past. They also have a bookstore near the entrance to the library that sells used books that have been donated. This is a great idea and service. The library also offers various reading, speaker, music, crafts, and other programs throughout the month.

We stopped by Flagler College while visiting St. Augustine and honestly it's worth a walk around…read more The grounds are really well kept and pretty to just stroll through. The standout is definitely the main dome building inside. The interior is genuinely stunning, like the kind of place that makes you feel like you're in Europe somewhere rather than Florida. We were not expecting that at all. We also happened to walk through the quad right as some kind of dunk tank event was going on where students were getting people to pay to try to dunk faculty members. We had no idea what was going on but we stopped and watched for a while because how could you not? If you're already in St. Augustine it's an easy and free thing to add to your day. Just walk around, admire the beauty, and hope you get lucky enough to catch something fun happening on campus like we did.

That's not uncommon, some of the coolest libraries I have been in have been schools in a previous life. The library has a very spacious feel to it and you can flow from room to room without running into other people or stuff. Has a definitely school type feel to it. The kids room is especially nice and was obviously design for play as much as reading. All kinds of things to keep the hyperactive delinquents occupied. A nice community room and some very friendly and helpful librarians as well as computers and wifi make this a library that is both very practical but still has that small town charm. To make it even better, the library has a resident kitty named Elsie. She of course goes where ever she wants but learned never to be intrusive and bother people that don't want her around. Of course when she found out we were more than willing to give her attention we couldn't get rid of her. Hastings is a cool library in a small town. You can get books, magazines, attend the numerous programs, use the computers and even hug a wonderful kitty. You can't ask for anymore than that from a library.
