    Club Stroz. So many good memories here. Starbucks saved my life pulling all nighters here back in the day.

    Great selection of materials, friendly staff, and clean facilities. What more can you ask for with…read morea library!

    The newest version of our county library that opened January 20, 1991 and is still going strong. It…read moremay not be as modern as a library would be if it was built today, but it has done a good job of adapting to the technological advances that libraries have seen in the 27 years since it opened. It certainly has come a long way from the first public library that I remember, which opened in 1956 in the basement of The Columns when that building was located at Park and Adams (where the Doubletree Hotel is now located). Now The Columns sits on a corner of the property where this library was built and the library sits on the former site of an earlier version of Leon High School. They have a good selection of all the usual library offerings of books, periodicals, CDs, DVD's and even digital downloads of current books. I even saw a poster recently at our branch library that indicated you can now download graphic novels/comics. Our Tallahassee Genealogical Society maintains a genealogy research section at this library as well. I personally enjoy being able to search the library catalog online so I can place a hold on a book I want to check out and have it delivered to my branch library or being able to renew checkouts when I take more than the 3 weeks checkout period to finish a book.

    A little known resource for most Tallahasseans that has fallen on hard times since Wall Street…read morenearly put us all in bread lines back in 2008. The State Archives used to have it's own comfortable, attractive and reasonably equipped space on the first floor. Severe budget cuts and other state agency demands on space forced the State Library and State Archives to move into one space together. Neither has what they had before as a result. Subsequent state budgets have not been kind either. Their current space is cramped and totally lacking in any decor. Then again, many libraries have never been about style or appearance. What is important is the substance of their collection and that they have. There are several computers available and they have a few modern computer microfilm readers as well as an old school microfilm reader. There are several tables with chairs to use while doing research. They have the state's major daily newspapers to read. There is a display of new books to browse and some shelves of books. Most of their collection is in "the stacks" and have to be retrieved for you. You do not have to be a state employee to get a library card and check out books. However, don't think this will solve your dilemma of getting your hands on the latest bestseller that has a long waiting list at the Leon County Library. The State Library mission is to serve as a resource for state government so their collection is heavy on non-fiction, particularly anything related to Florida. They do have fiction, just don't expect it to be brimming with multiple copies of the latest bestsellers. The State Archive part of the collection is a genealogist researchers dream. Their computers give you access to Ancestry, Newspaper Archive, Fold3 and other resources by virtue of their subscription to those websites. They have a huge collection of research resources for all states with a heavier emphasis on Florida. Both the library and arrive collections can be searched online so you can come prepared by doing some looking from the comfort of your home. You cannot take bags into the library, but they provide lockers for storing your stuff while you are in the library. No pens allowed so bring pencils or use theirs. Visitor parking is available adjacent to the R. A. Gray Building and you can save the $5 parking fee by asking for a token at the library desk where you check in. There is breakfast and lunch available at The Egg Express on the ground floor if you get hungry. The Museum of Florida History is also located on the ground floor if you want to make a full Florida experience of it.
