I usually go to the Deerfield library filled with smelly patrons, loud children and kind librarians. Even though the Boca library was beautiful everyone who worked there was kind of rude. Maybe they were having a bad day or did not want to help me print my paper. It cost me $.80 and seemed to be a bit of an annoyance for the people working there, I definitely will not be back. Not everyone who worked there was unpleasant but from now on, I will stay in Broward where the employees are nice.

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.

The staff is very friendly and helpful -- they've assisted me several times. The library is clean, the books are in great condition, and there's a wide selection to choose from.

With the help of Yelp search, it found the nearest Broward County library from me--Deerfield Beach Perry White Public Library. It was a large space with many organized shelves displaying a vast genre of books, DVDs, CDs, and audio books. There were plenty of computers, study rooms for privacy, and seats. The children's area was on the right side of the library while the adults area was on the other side. The library was partially full of patrons and it was fairly quiet. I approached the check out desk and returned the borrowed item. I definitely would like to return to this library whenever I'm around the area.

I love quiet time, so the library was the perfect solution. I haven't been to a library in decades so I was pleasantly surprised at how things have changed. There are several computer stations available to use at no cost. I work on a laptop so I didn't need to use them. I did use their scanner and printer a few times. Copies are just twenty five cents and there is no charge to use the scanner. There are plenty of seating areas scattered throughout the library and the chairs are very comfortable. I appreciated that each desk has it's own desk light. Individual study rooms are available and can be reserved in advance if necessary. A few times that I needed to hop on a call, I lucked out and found an empty room. They also have a conference room that can be reserved. The staff is great, and I found them to be very helpful. They are really nice too. The security guard stationed at the entrance is friendly. There is a monthly calendar that covers the events and classes for all Palm Beach County library locations. Just ask for a copy at the front desk. Plenty of parking right in front of the building.

I walked through the library and was rather shocked to see that they are still on the Dewey decimal system - - being in academia, I'm used to the Library of Congress system. I thought Dewey was no longer used! The parking lot is large so parking was not an issue but I was surprised to see just how many people were in the stacks perusing books. I'm glad to see that the library (brick and mortar) is still alive and well.

The kids section is right in front and apparently they give out snacks after school.

Very happy & I don't think I'll leave unless its to move to Italy! :)) But the library is great for studying. Doesn't have a huge selection of books but enough to keep your neurons stimulated. They also have many free classes for the community. Today I attended a meditation class before I did my school work. Very clean and the plus it's across from the beach! :)) I'm glad they decided to keep the library in this location! It's PERFECT! :)) Online has the schedule of all the classes offered at this branch! Locals should definitely check it out! Only way to help prevent or at least slow down dementia and Alzheimer's is to keep your neurons stimulated! Play chess, do puzzles, eat healthy, cardio, lift weights, meditate, peaceful mind!

I hope they'll be around for many years to come.

The store is very -- there's an elevator and escalators, making it easy with kids. The second floor has an amazing kids' section with books and toys. And not just any toys -- they're actually high-quality, unique, and very thoughtfully curated. There are also areas where kids can play, and even a small stage where they host storytime on certain days -- such a magical experience for little ones. Everything is always clean and comfortable. I especially love the carpeted floors -- it makes it so easy to just sit down anywhere, even on the floor, with a book and your coffee and enjoy the moment. The book selection is huge, including lots of activity books, crafts, and educational materials. My kids absolutely love it here -- there's always something new to explore, create, and learn. Restrooms are clean, staff is friendly, and the location is great. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a Whole Foods Market and other shops. Parking is also very convenient. Overall, this is one of our favorite places to spend time as a family. Highly recommend!
