This is a wonderful public library located on Lake Morton. It shares it's parking lot with the Polk…read moreCounty Art Museum, so it can be hard to find a parking space, but be patient, take your time, and you will find one. Getting here is a bit convoluted, but GPS works well navigating the old neighborhoods. The library is also located at a bus stop that is well used. This particular library branch has both a poor reputation and ratings, mainly due to the homeless, but I have never seen any while here - and I've spent a lot of time here since moving to Lakeland. This library is incredibly clean, including the bathrooms. The librarians who work here have been very polite and helpful. They have a fantastic inter-library loan system, like larger cities, so I've not had a problem acquiring books. The system is quite quick. They not only loan books, but dvds and music cds as well and have a large display of them inside. They have a large shelf in the front selling discarded books. They have a large section for children, down a beautiful mural covered hallway. I have not checked that out, but from the proliferation of young families coming here, it's quite popular. There are also conference rooms, and from following them on Facebook, they have a lot going on here. It's easy for me to spend time at this library. The coffee house, Black & Brew, has a satellite cafe here and the library has a gorgeous rose garden all around it.

Granted they do have little tablets with earphones which I thought was neat! They also have a children's section like all libraries, and a teeny tiny play area. It's nice, just not separated from the rest of the library/sectioned off well enough for parents wanting to sit a while and read to their kids/do activities without disturbing anyone. They have a little nature-y area outside with a swing and benches which I thought was super cute. They also have laptops you can sign out and regular desktop computers as well. It's a great place to come for study, and to check out books- but if you want a library with a designated children's room, check out the Mango location!

When you go in through the entrance there is a coffee shop on the left and then they have a used bookstore which was where we were headed. The actual library is through another set of doors to the right. We spent quite a bit of time in the bookstore going through the wide selection of used books they had available. I found one book on the racks they had out in front of it and then stumbled across three more I wanted while inside. All four of the books I bought happened to be Stephen King novels but they had a lot of other good choices. My kids picked up a couple of books for gifts as well while we were there. The people working the store were very friendly and helpful.

The school gym hours are only for athletes, unless a few evening hours you're open. Although the gym partnership with Crunch is nice, it's a 20 min drive one away, which takes a lot of time. School communication regarding sporting events (besides football) could be better. Additionally, another meal restaurant/option on campus would be nice.
