What a lovely library. I know it's not new as I was last here with my mom, many, many years ago;…read morehowever, it's so bright, neat, and clean that it could be new. There's more than ample parking in the lot. On the outside is a book return drop if you're here when they aren't open or you don't wish to go inside. The librarian was most helpful with all our questions. We were also able to browse. There are a lot of DVD's, books -- of course, computers to use, periodicals and newspapers. There was a cute children's section as well. They have various activities available for the locals along with special events. And a small section of books for sale. I'm glad we stopped by.

I got my card and instructions for borrowing e-books, audiobooks and movies. I walked through the library and was rather shocked to see that they are still on the Dewey decimal system - - being in academia, I'm used to the Library of Congress system. I thought Dewey was no longer used! The parking lot is large so parking was not an issue but I was surprised to see just how many people were in the stacks perusing books. I'm glad to see that the library (brick and mortar) is still alive and well.

This is a very large library, I love their large study rooms. I've been to other libraries that…read morehave a few study rooms, this one has. I think nine of them plus conference rooms that you can request or reserve. They have a very large children section, a separate teen area, and I love that they always have out recommendations of books or movies, and it usually follows a theme. The parking lot is well maintained too, but I wish there were more lights at night.

The Palm Beach Gardens branch Library is a very large, spacious County library--and nicely laid…read moreout. After passing through the bathroom/book check-in entryway area and through the security panels, an inviting middle walkway lined with dvds invites one to browse. Modern comfortable seating - living-room style - provides an inviting space to chill and peruse one's findings. There is a 'local authors' section next to the security panels when you walk in, a nice touch. There is a room just for teenagers and young adult fiction; I would have loved this room if it had existed when I was a teenager! It includes tables and computers. Awesome for teens to have a 'safe' space away from adults and small children. The children's area is quite spacious, with a large entryway and open corridors between sections. The area is placed far from the regular library-goers so that children might squeal without disturbing too many patrons. It also features: lots of lights entering from windows, whimsical wooden bookcases and chairs, and a family bathroom (complete with child-size toilet and sink). The leather seating is pretty worn out, but otherwise the space is well-kept. The parking lot features a ton of parking spaces and a drive-through book drop-off.

The printer is not able to print in letter, which is a great inconvenience, but it does photocopy in letter when needed. The staff is friendly in my experience. I don't like how they have the teen section completely sequestered and you can't stay in the closed off area unless you are a teenager. I don't know if there's some sort of predator situation in this area and they've had to take these measures. They have study areas but they are not soundproof. The internet censorship is a little bit ridiculous and out of control. I tried to access a website for the Palm Beach clerk and it was blocked. But the staff is friendly and they help you with their computers if needed. They should also work on getting you the books that we request to be bought because I have requested many books and I've never received any feedback on them acquiring any of them although I've been here for years.

I recently attended an adult Intro to Crocheting class at this library branch. I came to this…read morelocation specifically for this class, which I signed up for online as soon as the class opened up! Thank you to the awesome librarian who created this opportunity. She was so patient and kind, limiting the class to a very small number in order to give 1:1 attention to each and every attendee. I knew there would be no better place than to truly learn than in a library environment. I love our library system, and I am so grateful for this programming! The classes offer so many different types of things, and learning to hand crochet (and knit, also on my list) has been something I have wanted to learn for so, so long. I have tried before and failed, and trying to learn by book and video has just not worked for me. This in-person class allowed me to fail repeatedly until I got the basic first step. Success! Thank you again to our kind leader who only just started crocheting in the past year but loved it so much she wanted to share. This kind of intro really helped me to embrace her instruction, and her demeanor and attitude was just so wonderful - thank you so much! She also hosts a regular crocheting circle and other levels of learning at this branch. After my class, I wandered into the main section and checked out a couple of cookbooks. Thank you thank you thank you to librarians everywhere.

I recently started looking into libraries in the area so I can take my daughter to enjoy some…read morebooks. This location is absolutely perfect ! It was redone not too long ago and it shows. It's spectacular!!! The outdoor area is huge, with an amphitheater and huge grassy section. While this isn't exactly part of the library, it's a nice addition because you can take a stroll around the park when you're done. The actual library itself is in great shape. It looks brand new, it's spacious, and has two floors. I really like that the children's floor is nestled in the corner on the bottom floor because I don't feel bad when my daughter decides to get a little loud. The entire children's area is carpeted, they have a little train track rug, and even some toys available. They also have computers, a study hall area, and much more! While I haven't checked out the adult section yet, I do enjoy the kids section and highly recommend to anyone looking for some new books!

We have passed by this branch library on Lantana Road many times and decided to stop in to check it…read moreout. The branch is large inside and has a large parking lot outside with many limited mobility spots. Good to see so many people taking advantage of the services, both young and old. There is even a Creative studio with all the equipment needed to create your own pod cast or other visual production. The only negative was in the print media (Newspaper) section. Several publications were missing sections or even whole days in the middle of a week.

This is a relatively new library for Lantana. It was opened in 1923 but according to all reports it took a bit for it to be built -- construction delays, etc. It replaced their former library which was located in a bank building. This place is large! It is packed with books and tapes, etc. There's a long bank of computers in cubicles that can be used. And most of them on a mid-week mid-day time were occupied. There are private nooks and seating areas throughout. A reference section. A children's section. And most impressively, a recording room where you could do podcasts or filming of some sort. When we came by, there was a line of folks to get into the auditorium/meeting room. I'm not sure what was going on there, but they do have many programs and activities for families, children, etc. Overall, it was spacious, clean, and well-organized. It could be a bit overwhelming for some people. But it is easy to see why it is well patronized by the locals.

It's now February 2024 and there are still magazines from November of last year. I went to the religious section, and there was no thought or effort in that area. There is still Christmas gifting in that area. I went to the fashion and art section, and there was very little on fashion. I walked around the store, and even by the front register area and not one time, did anyone acknowledge me. At one point I saw the manager talking with an employee and they both looked at me in my eyes and said nothing. I will no longer renew my membership to Barnes & Noble. There is no purpose when magazines are outdated and it appears no one actually wants to service customers in the store. It was very clear that I was looking around for some thing, but they didn't care. It would be a good idea to work with your magazine vendors, so that people have something new and fresh on the newstands versus crumbled magazines that are, three months old. This right here is one of the reasons why people go to Amazon.
