I do think the wireless internet speed needs some serious improvement to be helpful or effective, since cell phone 5G is actually faster than the library WiFi. Lots of encouragement to attend local program events. Programming leans toward mostly children's and family programming options, and some look like very fun programs. Copying and printing is 10¢ per page, and the default print mode when wirelessly printing is double sided, so you can get six pages onto 3 paid pages. The staff didn't think wireless printing was possible, but when I attempted to print from my laptop on the wireless network to the network printer, it went through without issue, which was helpful for a document that I needed print from my laptop and not email to another computer. There's a collection of books, magazines, sometimes audio books and DVDs for sale for only $0.25 at the front if you want to pick up something to take to the beach that might get a little sandy or watery, or because you aren't a local library member. One of the surprising collection pieces are a set of cake pans and recipes for creative party celebrations.

We very much appreciated this library as a place to spend some time with our 2 young kids on a…read moremorning too rainy for the beach. The librarians were kind and helpful. I had to ask for help looking up a subject category because it seemed that you needed a library card number to use the computers. That's understandable, especially in a tourist town. The librarian helped us find what we need and our kids got to color a picture, play with a wooden train (quietly), and read some books while we waited out the rain. There was one very noisy little kiddo who was with us and the librarian did ask his mother to try to keep him a bit quieter, I assume from a patron complaint. I thought she handled it well and politely (she said "I can tell he's having fun!" in a friendly way), and to be fair, the kid was being VERY shriek-y while enjoying the train table. They also gave us a pen and a piece of paper to use for note-taking from one of the books, which I thought was nice. Thank you PCBPL for helping our kids have a wonderful day of reading and rescuing our trip.

There are also others from the Orient, as well as Kentucky muskets from the 18th century. Although librarians don't normally accept it, legend has it that Alice Fellows the library's first paid librarian has haunted this library since her death in 1926. So I wandered inside a haunted library in Defuniak Springs. They told me to take any book I wanted for free. So, I did. I got a lot of free books. P.S. I didn't see a ghost.

I called and requested that a book be sent over from another Okaloosa library. The staff member said that she would place the request, but never did. I needed the book for a class and ended up having to order it to get in it time. They closed the childrens' section down during the summer to remodel (a poor management decision). I made a special trip to the library with my children and was turned away. They do not offer many summer programs for children at this location. Space is being wasted here. Bring in new talent or reallocated the money going to the FWB location to the Mary Esther, Destin, and Niceville library.

If it isn't in this library the staff finds it at another library and has if for you, if available, in a few days. The wonderful new children's area of the library is just lovely for parents and children. The construction was efficient and well managed and took very little time. I can't wait to take my grandchildren to see the improvements this November! Hope 'Elmo' is available then too!! The Children Section librarian staff goes to great lengths to encourage children to read. The head of this section, Nancy, even dresses up as Elmo for special reading days and the children and parents love it! We love this library!
