Upon arriving, the kids section is on your immediate right.

The price of course was a sticker. Will definitely return on my next visit to Sanford.

Initially, I went over to use the computer systems to print a few documents and to scan and email a few documents. It was easy to access the computers and get everything completed.

On another visit, I returned with a group, and we used the meeting room up from. The group had to set up and put up the tables and chairs - it was easy to do and there was plenty of equipment for our needs. Overall, I like this little library. I'm glad that it is here.

They also had a craft station set up with all the supplies ready for the kids to get creative. The library itself is on the smaller side and a bit worn down, and the children's book area felt a little cramped. But there's a cozy corner with toys and puzzles that kept my twins entertained. Overall, a fun way to spend a couple of hours with your toddler!

I recently attended a storytime class at the North Orange branch. Mr. Bill was the moderator for this session, as well as another one we attended about a year ago. He mentioned he hasn't been there recently, so there may be a different moderator at times. Mr. Bill was engaging, funny, and did a great job encouraging parents to actively participate alongside their children. My girls especially loved the puppets he used! OCLS continues to impress with its quality programming, and we'll definitely be back.

The woman in charge was extremely rude to the bride and her family. We respectfully asked for a little more time as events (as they usually do for weddings) were running slightly behind. Instead of her respectfully telling us it wasn't possible, she came to the bridal suite with bare attitude almost bringing my sister to tears on her special day. During the actual ceremony I had to run back up to the bridal suite (which was behind the stage) without crossing the stage during the ceremony, as an important veil was left behind. I was then barked at by the woman in charge (and a female employee it seems she is training to have the same poor attitude), "You can't go up that way. Go around the building." Mind you I'm running at full speed at this time to prevent the delay of the bride's entrance. Thank goodness for the kind male employee who was working (seriously the only kindness shown to us that day) who came with his key to unlock to the door for me. Took less than 30 seconds as the staff were all standing right there. So basically the woman in charge knew they could simply unlock the door for me, but attempted to sabotage the sacred ceremony by having me run all the way around the building, through the audience, and across the stage to access the bridal suite. Oh wait there is more! The other female staff had the audacity to say to me with contempt, "There is a lot going on here," (mind you the venue is frequently rented for all types of weddings etc. so I'm not sure if she expected us to just be there doing nothing). I simply replied, "yeah, it's a wedding." So infuriating. It felt like prejudice. Save yourself the negative vibes on your special day and rent elsewhere! I don't know what is going on in that woman's life that makes her so unhappy and causes her to project her unhappiness on others, but it's not okay.

The current Mount Dora City Hall sits on top of a hill at 5th and Baker Streets but it is not Mount…read moreDora's first town hall. The original town hall was built in 1904 on the corner of 4th and 5th Avenues on the east side of Donnelly Street by volunteers with donated materials. This town hall existed until 1922 when a fire damaged it and most of the block. In the 1880's the land where the city hall now sits was owned by the Reverend Guller built a hotel called the Guller House. The Gullers sold it in 1889 and the property changed hands several times until the 1920's when Mr. Enoch Tompkins purchased the Guller House. He remodeled it and added columns to give it a colonial look. After that the building was known as the Colonial Inn. It was again sold several times and in 1929 Mount Dora leased the property for $1,000 a year, eventually buying it for $15,000 in 1931. City business was conducted in the building until 1963 when the building was deemed too outdated to be be functional. Architect Brandon Wald, was hired in the 1960's by the city to create a new building that looked as close to the Colonial Inn as possible while making the interior more functional for the city. The 1920's pillars were retained to decorate the front of the building. On May April 3, 1964. Mayor Jessie Wilmott, Governor Farris Bryant, and other government officials dedicated the new town hall. Although not a building from the 1920's, Mount Dora's City Hall looks like it came from that time period. Today it sits on top of the hill overlooking Donnelly Park and holding court over lovely historic downtown Mount Dora.
