Upon arriving, the kids section is on your immediate right. Considering how small the library is the children's section was well stocked with books and puzzles and they even had a summer scavenger hunt throughout the library with printed out pictures. The price of course was a sticker. Will definitely return on my next visit to Sanford.

Our teacher told us that she isn't an artist, she's a librarian who wants to make opportunities for us, and you know that set the students at ease! We were able to focus on having fun and experimenting with whichever design we wanted to do because fireworks are not cookie cutter shapes! They are irregular, which works very well for me who is new at painting. These classes offered at the library can be reserved on line and they fill up fast, so don't sleep on it! I was very happy with the atmosphere and friendly environment. They provide everything, the canvas, the paints, water and brushes. Make sure to check out the classes on line and you too may learn a new craft!

Orange County Library System: The Greatest Free Subscription You Never Knew You Needed…read more BREAKING NEWS: There's a place in town where stories come alive, books are free, and magic is real--and no, it's not a theme park. It's your local Orange County Library, and it just might be the most underrated treasure in Central Florida. Today, we hit up Tiny Tales with Mr. D, and let me tell you--this man deserves his own Broadway show. He had a room full of babies giggling, parents engaged, and storybooks practically jumping off the pages. It's the kind of experience that makes you grateful to be raising your family here. But that's just the beginning of what this library system has to offer: They deliver books TO YOUR HOUSE. Yes, for real. You can place a hold on popular titles, and when it's your turn--BOOM--they ship it straight to your doorstep like it's book-loving Christmas. FOR FREE. No monthly fees, no strings, just pure literary goodness. Books, audiobooks, DVDs, and even tech kits? All free. Want to dive into a cookbook? Learn a language? Binge a new series? OCLS has you covered. Family fun all week long: From baby bounce time and toddler yoga to coding classes and art workshops--there's always something cool going on, and it's perfect for connecting with other parents while your little one explores. Returns are easy: Drop your books at any branch or toss them into a return bin near you. Then stock up again. It's a beautiful cycle. And guess what? They're building a new branch in HAMLIN! We're counting the days until we can walk to even more storytimes, events, and those glorious stacks of free reads. So here's the truth: in a world of pricey subscriptions and endless screen time, the Orange County Library System is a free, feel-good miracle that supports families, fuels imaginations, and builds community--one story at a time. We love it. We use it. We tell everyone about it. If you haven't gotten a library card yet... what are you doing?! Go. Sign. Up. Now.

There are also some amazing sculptures in front. Although I've been coming here for ten years i always stop to look at the sculptures and have a moment if reflection. Next door to the library is a a piece of 9/11 history surrounded by tiles made in different countries. Inside the library is a nice collection of books, DVDs, Audio books, and CDs of music. This library also has a full and interesting schedule of classes. Downtown Windermere is a beautiful historic town that still embodies, encourages, and protects the best of the human lifestyle. Come visit and slow down, calm down, turn the music down, and relax!

I recently attended a storytime class at the North Orange branch. Mr. Bill was the moderator for this session, as well as another one we attended about a year ago. He mentioned he hasn't been there recently, so there may be a different moderator at times. Mr. Bill was engaging, funny, and did a great job encouraging parents to actively participate alongside their children. My girls especially loved the puppets he used! OCLS continues to impress with its quality programming, and we'll definitely be back.

I haven't experienced any issues. I was a little surprised the first time that I saw a security desk and personnel near the entrance. More often than not, it is great idea to check out your local library system has to offer. This branch is definitely on my list of branches to keep up with.

Substance over style…read more Sorrento Florida isn't a very large town, I believe it has less than one thousand people living there. One of those quiet little towns that is easy to pass right by without even noticing. The town library is the same way, unassuming and quiet, located on a side street it takes a bit of effort to find if you don't know exactly where to look. The library certainly isn't much to look at. Not ugly or intrusive, just plain and functional. Probably like a lot of things in this town the library values substance over style and doesn't try to be something it isn't. I was surprised when the librarian told me that the library is only ten years old. Before that the people in the town had to go up to the Mount Dora library if they wanted books. This is one of those places that is impossible to tell how old it is and will probably look exactly the same one hundred years from now. The library is small but very friendly and useful. Everything is laid out in a practical if not exactly aesthetically pleasing manner. A place where no one will ever hush you or speak harshly to you. A little library that suits the town perfectly.
