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!

The first community library in Boca Raton was established by the Woman's Club of Boca Raton in…read more1923. Over the years, the library operated from several locations, including the Army Air Field and Boca Raton City Hall. Today, the Spanish River Library and Community Center is one of two libraries in Boca Raton. This library is a stunning 41,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility designed in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library officially opened on January 26, 2008, following the approval of a $19.8 million bond by Boca Raton taxpayers in 2003 to expand the city's public library system. The building is so beautiful that it even serves as a wedding venue and features a catering kitchen for special events. Beyond its extensive collection of fiction and nonfiction books, the library offers quiet reading and study spaces, meeting rooms, a snack room with vending machines, a children's area, an art gallery, and scenic patio seating. The Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library, a nonprofit volunteer organization founded in 1990, has raised funds for many major library initiatives, including the library's bookmobile, which brings library services to underserved communities; AWE Early Literacy Stations at both the Downtown Boca Raton Public Library and Spanish River Library; and the award-winning StoryWalk trails located in Boca Raton's public parks. Perhaps the library's most distinctive feature is its breathtaking lakeside setting next to the Pondhawk Natural Area. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide beautiful views of Blue Lake, creating a peaceful atmosphere for reading or working. A scenic loop trail circles the lake and connects to Pondhawk's 79 acres of paved and natural-surface trails, where visitors can spot native plants and wildlife. The trail also links to Countess de Hoernle Park and Spanish River Athletic Park, making the library the perfect starting point for a day of nature and learning.

I don't think any exist at this point in time and most probably you were born not so long ago. This library has almost everything you would be looking for. I usually only get travel related books and they have plenty of them. Now if they don't usually you can locate from another library within the region. Libraries have become automated and this one has kept up with the times. They send you emails about when your books loaned out are up for return and options for renewal.

To meet the needs of this growing western Boynton Beach community, Palm Beach County's 18th library has opened in Canyon Town Square. The Canyon Branch is a two story library that opened on January 11, 2025 behind the amphitheater of the Canyon Town Center. It covers 33,000 square feet offering a flexible environment designed for enrichment and collaboration. The beautifully designed library has over 130,000 lendable items, including books, DVDs and digital media. There are also desktop computers, printing, scanning and free Wi-Fi and patrons can borrow laptops. There is also a large meeting room, smaller conference and study spaces, two themed areas for children and teens, and a CreationStation and Makerspace for exploring digital and traditional arts. Additional amenities include self check out, a drive-up service window, a separate drive-up book drop, and an outdoor plaza with solar-powered lighting. It also has a recording studio similar to the one at the main library in West Palm Beach. I love all of the cozy seating spaces set up throughout the library for people to read, learn, and engage. This state of the library is a wonderful resource to connect the community. One of the most unique features of the library are the six columns that hold up the canopy at the entrance to the building, They are the canvas for Opening Minds, an art installation Brad J. Goldberg, who was selected from a pool of more than 70 professional artists from all over the world. Each of the columns is uniquely etched with book titles, music, quotes, and streams of binary code to symbolize the role of libraries in both the physical and digital realms. These pillars represent the many ways knowledge is shared, preserved, and celebrated. The six columns have more than 400 contributions, in 13 languages to reflect the wide range of cultural, social, and ethnic backgrounds that Make up the community. Reading them is meant to spark curiosity and conversation. ​

I have been there several times since it's opened and it is a beautiful library. There are plenty of seating and lots of books to choose from different categories. The online system tells you where the books are if you are looking for a particular book and if it's available. There are staff members to help in case you need help finding a book or have questions. There are private study rooms and meeting rooms available for use. You can drop off books through a service window or a drive-up book drop. There is also a recording studio inside the library, which is a additional feature to what the library has to offer. Go get your read on!

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.

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.

I first visited this library when it more resembled a bank, and to see how much it's changed, grown, and become a true hub for the community makes my heart full! The building itself is amazing - the art hanging everywhere (from the walls to the ceiling!) and the interior and exterior colors are bright and make me happy, and even the height of the counters, tables, and shelving units make the space looks much larger than it actually is. I really enjoy that they use the actual architecture of the building in their logo. I've attended several of the Library's activities, including a few sessions of the Serious Book Discussion. The discussions are always professionally led, lively, and the books chosen are interesting. I feel like I'm reading books that I may not have picked up otherwise, which is a great reason to join a book group. There are also so many other activities that sound innovative and exciting that I wish I had time to go to! The staff is always friendly and willing to help. Again, this is one of the best libraries in the County!
