I liked the paintings here & some classic old maps of interest of FL such as the Everglades. I feel the items here aren't as smart as the Cocoa Beach library. I didn't find the new books, CDs, or DVDs to be that interesting. The travel guide books were quite dated as many were 2005 or so meaning over a decade old. I did find the cookbooks here to be quite alright as they had many solid vegan, vegetarian, & plant based cookbooks along w/ an eclectic array of other classic cookbooks from various other cuisines of the world. By far the cookbooks here are the best thing going for this library. Good thing you can order items from any of the other libraries to be picked up here.

Unfortunately it has changed over the summer, and now it's a very unwelcoming place to younger children. They seem very concerned with normal levels of noise that should be expected in the kids wing. They installed musical instruments into the wall but don't want kids to play them? I mentioned my issues to my church mommy-and-me group, and several of the other moms have had the same experience there! They all told me they have since stopped taking their kids there which I find very sad. Hope they can make the changes necessary to make this place inviting to young emergent readers.

I ended up donating them to Goodwill. Here are my suggestions for the Brevard County Library System: Consider clearing books and other media that haven't been borrowed in the last two to three months, given the limited space and personnel at each library. Conduct surveys among regular library users to identify their preferences for books and media. Share this information in relevant media outlets, allowing people to purposefully contribute.

I will be honest and say I only discovered this museum because the huge park next to it has a bunch…read moreof geocaches. However, because of my hobby I discovered amazing places like this. According to their official website, the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center is as follows: "Since 1978 the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center and Council have taken on many missions to support over 70,000 Brevard Veterans and their families as well as to help all citizens and visitors learn firsthand about what U.S. veterans have contributed to make our country great." I cannot review how they support our veterans directly, but I can review the park and museum. Starting with the park, it is huge. It has a lot of space for patrons to get their running miles or walking steps in. There is a playground and greenhouse in the middle of the park so families with their kids could enjoy a time outside too. As mentioned earlier, geocaching is the reason I found this area and there are six geocaches hidden in the park. Next is the museum which includes the memorials, monuments, and replicas outside too. Loved the tank and helicopters and the monuments have excellent information that I did not know about certain wars in your country's short and young history. Back to geocaching, there is one Adventure Lab and the initial way point for a multicache in here. Also, there are way mark finds here too. Finally, the actual museum is three floors of U.S. military history starting with the Revolutionary War all the way to the War on Terror. I have learned so many details about each war besides weaponry, tactics, and such. I learned who the first female officer on a U.S. naval ship was. I learned the tantamount damage PTSD causes in war. I learned how uniforms have evolved. And so on and so forth. And to wrap things all up, there is a rare letterbox in here too. If you letterbox like I do, bring your letterbox journal, stamp, and ink pad. Overall, such a wonderful place to learn. I am so happy there are organizations keeping history alive because much of our young people do not know (and sadly don't care) about our U.S. history. I pray such a place will help such young generations to grow and mature that we don't repeat the mistakes other nations have in the past.
