I wish the collection could be a bit smarter. I felt there could have been a better selection of books that I am drawn toward. Not sure if there is an issue w/ the budget or what yet felt the library could use some new items.

They even have the nerve to charge guests $1.00 per hour to use them. In addition, the parking lot gets flooded all the time. But, they have no problem wasting money on a security guards.

I like this library. They have news papers I see people reading. I even learned something new here…read more I ordered the Jim Crow book online for pick up. But something said just go find the book myself since I was already there. So I went to the front desk and asked the nice lady about how I can find the book. The experience was weird. It was like she didn't want me to find it myself so I just told her I will figure it out. She walked around the desk and just followed behind me. She explained how I was able to find the book once we made it to the section. The service here varies. I truly wanted to figure it out on my own or just shown how to so I could do the rest. One time I was talking to a lady about her kids reading allot of books I was just amazed. And one librarian just interrupted our conversation as if she didn't want us to just talk. I think I was reading about ww1 or ww2 at the time. I do hope it gets better.

I often…read morehave to wait several months for titles that are featured in many newspaper reviews and even then, some of those books are only available by e-book, which doesn't work well for me. Additionally....I wish they would spend the money to get patrons access to KANOPY, the free streaming service with top notch indie and foreign films. They offer HOOPLA, which pales in comparison. Still, an absolutely lovely facility and I'm so pleased to live right by it.

I had previously reviewed the library on the mainland. This library on the island where I live live…read more The location alone is to die for. This library has a five star children's department. it's inviting with games like oversized checkers for the bigger kids and developmental toys for the toddler sect. They have such a variety of children's programs from mommy and me. to steam club for elementary age to game nights for teens dispersed in between with arts and craft and parties. They employ two of the best staff you'll ever meet in the youth department. They know the names of all the children who frequent the library and boy are they patient. The library has a reading room for parents to read their little ones even the adult side is inviting and make sure you want to stay and read a while. it may not be huge but it's perfect for our town.

The Melbourne Beach Public Library is quite alright. It is one hip library. It has a very cool…read morelarge surfing mural inside which is fitting enough since the library itself is a short walk to the shores of Melbourne Beach where you will likely see surfers surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I found the strongest aspect of the Melbourne Beach Public Library is their music section. Here you will find CDs of David Bowie, the Beatles, the Doors, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, along w/ Shane MacGowan and the Pogues. The section of books is a bit small perhaps due to the size of the library as a whole yet still some good titles to be found. They have a nice set up for those interested in playing chess or checkers. Cool displays such as Christmas in July w/ Christmas DVDs available to check out. They have a new & popular check out for DVDs called Stellar Sellers which is here where I found the Joan Jett DVD "Bad Reputation". Jett is a vegan & practices Ashtanga Yoga like me. She has been holding it down many decades as a singer & songwriter so look forward to watching this bio pic documentary.

Her emphasis on the breathing was right on point and needless to say l will be back. That library was packed this morning, just a lot of people doing their thing in a big beautiful place that has a lot to offer to the community.

I was very impressed with the sound. The venue itself is very accessible, right off the main highway (US1) and didn't have any issues finding street parking. I didn't get to explore many other areas of the venue / center but it seemed large enough to hold very large events. There was probably close to 500 people at this show. I had a good time, and if you are coming here, I'm sure you will too.

I appreciated the display of some interesting antique Atlas from around the world. The strongest items on hand were the music CDs as found quite a good number of selections to my liking. The only thing I didn't like was the cases the CDs were stored in were a bit oversized making them a bit inconvenient for storage in a car or transporting them someplace. Smaller jewel cases would have been appreciated yet did like that these were more solid w/ less likelihood of breaking during transport. The staff here is friendly. I just wish there were more items from books to DVDs etc to my liking.
