The kids area inside is wonderfully decorated and our son will love the reading room once those activities are resumed. The librarian was helpful and kind and the library is spacious.

I'm Surprised no one has reviewed this place yet. Over the years I've come here a lot to study or…read moredo work when I'm in town. It's preferable to a crowded coffee shop except there is no coffee here :( but there is a Starbucks with a drive thru nearby. It's a nice little hybrid of a community lib downstairs and a college student space upstairs. Very nice chill study space with comfy chairs with plugs and a reference lib on duty upstairs. I really like the giant hanging baby exploring the abc's and what not as you walk up the atrium stairs.

The staff is always very attentive and friendly. I appreciate the whole design of the building itself, it's spacious, well organized and very light! The children's area is size-able and there are about 8 computers for public use! They are working hard to maintain social distancing protocols. You must be masked to enter and they do enforce it. Likewise all employees are masked. If you haven't been to a library lately...I suggest it. You can renew books online nowadays! There's great programs for kids and adults alike. Even virtual book clubs! You can rent audio books and music.

Moi read somewhere on Yelp that they have a handy little section where you can leave a book & borrow a book, which is great for travelers like moi. And Presto! Yes they certainly do! How very convenient. We have a similar box at Ever'mans in Pensacola I use often. Fabulous Library. Excellent Hours. Will Return & Often. Highest Recommendations.

She shared about the many perks that come with being part of the PLCC library system. This location went all out for the summer reading program (the dinosaur theming was perfectly executed!).

Five stars for the location, adequate parking, and the decor inside & out. I did not interact with…read morethe librarians, but saw them working behind plexiglass shields. They looked earnest & engrossed in their duties. Friday, 5/2/22, I visited this library for a one hour lesson in writing a "love letter will." It was interesting and I learned a few things. It was also a pitch for estate planning and wills, but I'm happy with our attorney and our will. I took the useful brochure with me. Afterwards, I wandered down the wide hallway to the double glass doors to peruse the books for sale in the front of the library. Prices were reasonable. I also looked around at the plethora of books and other materials that patrons could check out. But I had to call this visit short. I had to hurry to Palm Harbor to lead a class (Tai Chi for Balance). I hope to return for a more in depth look at what this majestic library offers.

It's a nice place to do work. As a self-employed person, I have always looked for cafes and…read morelibraries where I could bring my laptop and get some of my paperwork done. The space has lots of light, has an airy feel to it compared to most libraries. I find that gives me energy. And I'm a book nut, I read several every week, so I live the vibe in a public library. They also have resources to help people get the information they want. Public libraries ROCK!

The prerequisite must have been "JOYFUL". I love how clean and new the books are. I'm sure they go through a lot but it doesn't show.
