    It's a beautiful library
    Miche

    It is a beautiful library. Enjoy the artsy mobiles. Enjoy the local artwork of the Rosetta spoonbill. Enjoy the origami cranes hanging. Have you seen the fish? Yes! The aquarium over the entry to the children's section is gorgeous. Watch the shark and what not swim around for a few minutes and feel a moment of zen. Upstairs there are a fair number of elderly people that came to get out of the sun and talk loudly on their cell phones. Come on. Read a book people! And hush (by ALL means.) I guess your allowed to talk loudly in libraries. My how the times have changed!

    Inside. Two levels. Fish tank arch at youth section.

    Beautiful library -- unique, really. And I spent, in the past, hours working there on a book project. Love it!

    The feel of this library is nice, big, roomy, and mostly inviting. The children's area is nice for…read morethe little ones to read books and play. It would be nice to have an event calendar state what is the story time themes are, not just the time. My biggest complaint is by the front door. There were 5-7 gentleman loitering outside, almost blocking the doors. We were inside for about an hour and they were still there when we were leaving. 14.06.2024

    One thing I love about Manatee county and its public institutions is the commitment to the…read morecommunity and social awareness. Nothing short of that was the event I attended at Central Library on 4/21/18. The library hosted a fashion show that featured area students that designed dresses made from trash & other found / discarded items. What these young people came up with was absolutely miraculous, and the juxtaposition of those beautiful creations over the fact that we have a massive waste crisis on out hands in this world was really moving. One dress was made entirely of green soda bottles curled and extruded to create a flowing, bouncing ensemble mirrored by a hairdo of similar curl and body donned by the model. Another outfit top was made almost exclusively with a young lady's grandfathers old ties. Very creative! This is why I live in this part of Florida, and why I will continue to support the community and events they offer for many years to come.
