So thank you for being so kind as to lead us in the right direction. Great people. Great library!

At least once a month there is a free public concert...the genre of music can vary. I've been to a Barbershop Quartet concert here which I thoroughly enjoyed. But I see posters in the library every time I'm there promoting the upcoming concert. For people who use Votran, the bus stops right in front of the library. They also have a variety of events each month.

Don't let the fact that this library is small deter you from visiting. Because this is a part of the VCPL System you need not worry that they may not have the book, audio book or other item(s) you may be looking for. The staff can request the item(s) you're looking for to be routed here from 1 of the other libraries in the system. They will also be more than happy to show you how to make your own requests both at the library and online. Because I live less than 2 miles from this library, it is my primary library within the VCPL System. In fact, I'm here this morning because 2 books I reserved online arrived and I came to check them out. This library, as well as the others in the VCPL System each have their own schedule of events for all ages. The WiFi can be a little tricky as it cut out twice while I was writing this review but that could be a rare thing specific to this day. Overall, I would most definitely recommend people in Orange City to visit and support their local library. One thing I'll add for the benefit of those reading who may need to speak with a Social Worker, VCPL System has a Social Worker in the Library Program. I don't believe the Social Worker meets at this specific location but I do know the Deland branch (and others) do have Social Workers regularly. If you are reading this and need to speak to a Social Worker you can go online to volusialibrary.org to schedule a free and confidential meeting.

Very easy on the…read moreeyes Lake Helen is a small town, it doesn't even have a traffic light. It does have lots of cool old buildings, some unusual stuff and some cool new things like an impressive library. The library was built about ten years ago but looks like it has been here for a long, long time. Just kind of blends in so well with the surrounding area and is ascetically so pleasant to look at. The cool design, architecture and porch has a very small town welcoming feel that is completely different from the usual recently built, functional, but ascetically boring libraries that are so typical in this part of Florida. This library looks like it would be quite at home in some small New England town or island. The inside of the library is comfy but certainly not roomy. It does manage to fit all the modern conveniences like computers, periodicals, DVDs and of course a nice collection of books. Definitely has a pragmatic side to it's wonderful aesthetics. Best of all it has a huge bulletin board that lists all the local events and programs. A great place to keep track of what's going on in this quirky little town. The librarians I met were patient, friendly and sweet, every though the library was crowded and they were probably wondering why the hell I was asking all these stupid questions. One of them took the time to tell me the story about how all the books were moved from the old library next door. They just formed a human chain and handed the books, one by one, to the new building. Something that would have been very cool to watch. The Lake Helen library is certainly not the largest or most useful library around. However it definitely one of the coolest and welcoming.

The exterior looks like a fresh renovation of an old house and inside there are modern lighting and window touches. The library operationally functions well. Books selections are a little light but take advantage of the county wide borrwing policies to flesh out any missing items. Digital options are many starting with Overdrive, Axis360 and Freading for books and a really nice addition via the Zinio app to read a large selection of digital magazines that normally have to be paid for. After inspection, this is a great library that packs a lot of punch in a small package. Wise use of space and providing media that people will actually use instead of accumulating junk helps this library thrive.

Most libraries in Central Florida tend to be relatively new but frequently just look like big boxes that happen to hold books and computers. The Deland Library was definitely designed to be more than just storage for a bunch of books. The library has a very nice exterior with palm trees all around and the inside is spacious and uses natural light very well. Some great old photos of Deland are scatter around as well as some interesting and eclectic sculptures.

There are tons of different, unique, and spacious chairs to use. There is a section on the 4th floor called "Tower Reading Area" this unique space is hidden and tucked away.
