Hello. Thank you for your question and feedback. The Summer Food Service Program (Summer Lunch) is funded by the USDA and it is a requirement of the grant that meals are consumed on-premises. It is the same department that funds free/reduced lunches that must be eaten at school. The past two years a Grab and Go option was instituted due to COVID; however, the restrictions have been dropped and the Grab and Go option expired. If you ever feel uncomfortable please let a Library staff member know. We want you to be able to enjoy your lunch and the Library whenever you're here. Thank you!

Hi, Liesl! As Kristi mentioned, there are meters on the street for parking between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. weekdays. Meters are 25 cents for 30 min, max 2 hours. There is also a parking garage on Duval Street that is convenient to the library. Rates for the garage are $2/hour, $10 for more than 4 hours, $10 all day. If you bring your parking ticket for that garage into the library, you can have one hour validated (free) during the week and all day validated on the weekends. There are other lots nearby as well, but these are the options most convenient and most used for those visiting the Main Library. Oh - there's also a Skyway stop across Hemming Park so if you are near another stop, that's not a bad option either. Hope this helps, Liesl! We look forward to seeing you soon!

If the book you want isn't at the Main Library now you can put it on hold and have it sent to the Main Library to pick it up there! If you are able to come in to the Main Library, the Children's books are on the second floor and the nonfiction adult books are on the third floor. Any one of our staff can help you find just what you're looking for. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for asking, Linda!

Yes, they should get on the computer. Schools have computers that students use. It is so much easier for them to do research for classes. Don't let your child be computer illiterate.

It should be unless there was damage
