Did you know when visiting an area you can pay a small fee to use the local library? Yes, just $15 for three months this case. Beats bookstore books you may leave behind. Plus you can read newspapers on line, on line language classes and so on. Nice selection of casual reading, far too many cookbooks, wide range of biographies. Great beach reads. Helpful staff. Beautiful pond in front with benches for sitting but visitors also include our friends the alligators….

We love Storytime with Ms Diana on Mondays. Through this program, my grandchildren have discovered the love of books! Always fun and inspiring with a great craft to take home.

Great library for study and reading sessions. The staff is very welcoming and helpful always. Great book collection as well! If your wanted book is not there, they will get it for you as soon as possible. I recommend this library for people of all ages who enjoy the wonders of reading.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Dan Bodnaruk | Aug 30, 2021
Frances T. Bourne Jacaranda Public Library | Aug 30, 2021

Thank you for expressing your concerns Dan. While cell phone usage is allowed in the library, we ask that patrons speak softly, turn off their ring tones, and step outside for extended calls. If staff become aware of an issue, we will speak with the patron and ask them to take their call to a more private place, preferably outside. In the future, please don't hesitate to alert staff if you feel someone is being too loud on their cell phone. Thank you.
