    Beaches Library Con- May the Fourth
    Katherine M.

    Gotta give this place a review now that I am *officially* a member. Got my card yesterday at the super fun Harry Potter Yule Ball. This library is super clean, the staff have always been friendly and the events are so cool! For this Yule Ball they had 3D Printing activities where you could make Harry Potter glasses to take home (oh and btw they hold 3D printing classes for the community), a Fortune Teller, a DJ (shout out to local DJ Mario), costume contest, some freaking quittage non-beer pong. Lol so fun! There is a Scrabble Club, yoga classes, SAT/ACT Prep, guitar lessons, sewing lessons....everything you can think of! Great place, definitely a underutilized and underappreciated gem :)

    I have been to the Pablo Creek Jacksonville Public Library many times as it's close to my house…read more The majority of my visits have been early voting. But I've also used the library services to print and make copies. As the library is one of the cheapest options. You can log into a computer using your library card and access your email to print documents. On this visit, I needed 60 copies for an upcoming meeting. I stopped by the front desk first and I'm so glad I did because the copying process had changed. Chris was so helpful and sweet. She came from behind the desk, walked me to the self service machine where you she assisted me with checking my balance and adding additional funds to my account. You can now use your debit or credit card instead of cash. But cash is still an option. Then she walked me to the copy machine and showed me how to log in. She suggested I print a few copies first to make sure they looked good. Again, she was such a help, because there was a line going down the page that was not on my original copy. She cleaned off the glass and suggested I use that option instead of the manual feed. Voila, the line was gone. If you're looking for a book or need to use the library services, I highly recommend the Pablo Creek location.

    I'm giving this location 2 stars because of how uncomfortable an employee made our visit…read more I was there with my kids in the children's area, which has a small kid-sized table. They brought a few toys over to the table so they could look at them while I was sitting with them. An employee complained to the manager about it, then started hovering around us, taking items from the table when the kids stepped away, and repeatedly asking where things had gone. I told him clearly that we would put everything back before we left, but the hovering continued. I completely understand employees needing to keep track of merchandise, and if the store has a policy against bringing toys to the children's table, that could have simply been explained to us once. Instead, the way it was handled made us feel watched and unwelcome. The interaction made me uncomfortable enough that I decided not to make a purchase and left instead. For a store with a dedicated children's area and kid-sized table, I expected a much more family-friendly experience.

The staff waited until they opened to tell us they didn't get any in this week's shipment. I'm sure the employees are as sick of us asking if they have any in stock as we are of running around trying to score one for our kid, but come on - a little courtesy would go a long way. I'm already wasting too much of my day as it is on this futile search, so please, at least give us a heads up so we aren't wasting an hour in line for nothing.

    I absolutely hate dealing with One Stop. Unless you arrive super early, there's always an extremely…read morelong wait. We're not morning people, so we always have a long wait. Sometimes we get a person who is really nice and helpful. Other times, we get a person who rushes us and makes us feel like we're inconveniencing them. It sucks when we get "that" person because we usually forget a question (or few) because we're rushed, and then we have to come back again. Sigh. They call you to the desk and they will discuss your private business with you in front of everyone in the waiting area. Know that when you are finally called to the desk, you can always request to go to a private room in the back with the person. But they are not going to offer this, you have to request it. We always do. My husband's financial aid, etc. is no one else's business. Make sure to use the computer to sign in the second you walk in the door. That's the only way they know you are here. As for calling One Stop, you do have that option, but be prepared to be on hold for as long as an hour sometimes to speak with someone. Also, there are certain things they can't discuss over the phone (like financial aid). Basically, they can only answer general questions over the phone. They do have a copy machine in the waiting area. But it's not as simple as just putting coins in it for a copy. There's a machine next to the copy machine that dispenses plastic cards with money. You have to purchase a card and use the card to make the copies. The copies are .09 cents each once the card is purchased. It's best to come in with your copies already made (like your W2s, etc.). There's a good amount of seating in the waiting area; although, I can't say the seats are very comfortable. One Stop is located in Hicks Hall off of Kernan Blvd. It's one of the newer buildings on campus and it's very nice. Keep in mind that even though it's located on Kernan, the mailing address is still 1 UNF Blvd. The physical address is even listed as 1 UNF Blvd. They do not have a Kernan Blvd address. Good luck with One Stop. Bring your patience. Bring a book. Bring homework. And I hope you get one of the nice, helpful people!

    I don't think anyone ever has enjoyed a trip to onestop. They are always incredibly busy and…read moreunderstaffed. Don't come here unless you have a few hours to kill, especially during the first and last few weeks of a given semester. They also have a phone service but the hold times are usually longer than the lines, so if you can go in person, that's definitely preferable. Come in before 10 or after 3 to avoid lines.
