It would be nice to have an event calendar state what is the story time themes are, not just the time. My biggest complaint is by the front door.

One thing I love about Manatee county and its public institutions is the commitment to the…read morecommunity and social awareness. Nothing short of that was the event I attended at Central Library on 4/21/18. The library hosted a fashion show that featured area students that designed dresses made from trash & other found / discarded items. What these young people came up with was absolutely miraculous, and the juxtaposition of those beautiful creations over the fact that we have a massive waste crisis on out hands in this world was really moving. One dress was made entirely of green soda bottles curled and extruded to create a flowing, bouncing ensemble mirrored by a hairdo of similar curl and body donned by the model. Another outfit top was made almost exclusively with a young lady's grandfathers old ties. Very creative! This is why I live in this part of Florida, and why I will continue to support the community and events they offer for many years to come.

The staff is…read moreremarkably knowledgeable and friendly though in one corner of the library there is a very loud guy who always sounds like he's screaming. Just stay in the other areas and it's nice and quiet. Also - the thesis room is an amazing place to read up on an incredibly wide variety of subjects. I highly recommend going in there, grabbing a random thesis and sitting down for a quick read! Great way to get some knowledge crammed into your head. There is some sort of deep seated passion and intrigue mixed with fear and angst in every one of them! All in all a really fantastic library.

The airport currently requires that you keep a laminated blue card to pass through TSA Precheck. At…read moreno point do staff tell you that you need to keep the card. Piles of cards are left unattended at multiple stations, thereby allowing anyone to get one on their way to the checkpoint trivializing the need for the card. Not only is this confusing, it discriminates against the elderly, foreign nationals, and the illiterate. No major airport at this time 8/2025 had such a process. The whole process would be better if the staff were so rude.

I am a retired airline employee and I was appalled at the TSA agent at the SRQ airport. She had a…read moreterrible attitude from the get go. I am just always smiling so when she said I had some sort of hot spots around my thighs and she would have to pat me down, I said, "sure, no problem." I stood there smiling, and she said, " with my attitude would I rather have a private search?" I said, " no , I'm fine.". She spat out, "get your feet farther apart," which I, of course did. She proceeded to pat me down very roughly and was sure to touch my privates twice, then loudly asked me if I was wearing a pad. As I said, I worked as a Customer Services agent for Delta Air Lines and would be mortified if any normal human was treated as I was at my airline. She was a heavy set older woman who might have been a drill sergeant in another life. Other passengers came up to me afterwards and said they couldn't believe what she put me through. Please see that this woman finds a job where she does not deal with the public. Thank you Fran Strickler fran.strickler@gmail.com.

I would not have the disability rating I currently have without his knowledge of the Compensation and Pension system.

I wish more Manatee County Veterans knew about this organization and the free services they provide. The personnel who work here are skilled in the lingo needed to get their claims approved.
