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.

The Fort Walton Beach Library is a fantastic library with an excellent staff. We've been going to…read morethis library more and more over the last decade and a half because they have everything we need for research and for personal reads. 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!

They have their own housing, some located right on the sound overlooking the beach and water!! There is the private beach where you can relax, swim not worrying about crashing waves and deadly currents, rent a paddle boat, paddle board, sail boat, ski boat, jet ski, pontoon boat, or C-130 Gunship..... JK. There are grills and picnic tables/pergolas available (we grilled lobster for dinner we picked up alive that day at Joe Patty's seafood in Pensacola). Even the "poor people" have huge boats parked in their front yards!! BX is undergoing renovations, commissary is great, infrastructure is nice, base pool rocks, play ground and splash pad are brilliant! You can see a plethora of planes, helicopters, and planes that turn into helicopters come and go all the time doing their occasional "bikini runs" down the beautiful beaches!! A small piece of my heart never left this base.

I've gotten golf clubs there for 25 cents, Baby/Toddler clothes for 50 cents, fabric, books, jewelry, etc and probably spent $10 top. Even found my kid some golf shoes that look brand new for $1! The store itself is a little small, but everything has it's place and I can find things with no problem. This is a cash only place and they are open on certain days and the hours are different each day.

I'm not just referring to the beach itself because I get it, not everyone wants dogs on the beach. I'm talking about the town itself. I have not found really any places that are pet friendly.

Plenty of computers to use if you need to go online, 10 page printing limit/per day, an outside patio area that's enclosed for anyone who wants to read outside, and some couches in the back by the magazine section lined with private study desks with outlets for computers/ipads. The staff is helpful and very friendly. They have free movie nights posted as well and story book time for pre-k, just check their calendar. They aren't opened FRIDAYS but you can use the atrium area to sit and wifi your laptop. Otherwise they're open Mon-Thur/Sat&Sun.
