I have visited this branch one time and will definitely be returning. The public library holds a place in my heart from childhood particularly when I could travel to the library. The Fernandina Branch was quiet, clean, with a nice selection of books. I took out an autobiography of the former cartoon editor of the New Yorker magazine. Funny, interesting tale of his life and work. I always look to see if the library offers events with guest speakers, entertainment and learning experiences. Bingo! The library has exhibition space which currently has posters from White Oak, an art lecture series and Black History month events. Definitely going back and finding more food for the mind. See you there.

Entry to Fernandina Public Library soon to double in size!

Full disclosure, I've been a docent with Jacksonville Public Library for a couple of years now, and…read moreI'm a raving fan! If you're not already plugged in, subscribe to their emails! Every week, special events happen at branches all over the city. From author presentations like "Lit Chats" (ranging from local authors to James Patterson, yes, the James Patterson!) to special events like the Candlelight Concert series, there's something for everyone. PRO TIP: The $1M Memory Lab on the 4th floor of the Main Library downtown is FREE to use with a JPL card. Ask the Special Collections librarians for help, bring a thumb drive for downloads, and you're all set!

Attended Candlelight concert entitled The Music Of Queen and More. We had easy street parking near…read morethe rear entrance of the library, which is the entrance for the concert. No meter fees since it was 6:00. Parking Lots aren't free. The concert began at 6:45, a bit after the scheduled 6:30. The website insists no late arrivals will be admitted, so beware. We really enjoyed this event. The tickets are reasonably priced. We sat in Zone A but any seat in the house would have yielded the same experience, imo. We arrived shortly after 6. With seating first come first served, we were seated center, second row aisle. The seats are roomy and reasonably comfortable for this hour long event. The venue was absolutely beautiful with all the candles. The string quartet played a mix of Queen (all the popular faves) and works from Mozart and Puccini as well as a few others. I'm very much looking forward to taking in another of these concerts. If you are interested there is another Queen offering upcoming so check out their website as they are offering many others here and other Jacksonville venues. Feverup.com. I'm eyeing the Valentine's Day concert on February 13, 2026, but I'm trying Zone C this time.

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.

Me and a few other friends came down because she was scared she was going to get harmed. We helped her report it and the man got off with nothing more than a warning.

I've been going to this library for 5-6 years now and I doubt ill be coming back. This is unacceptable and disgusting. This all happened halloween of 2025 between around 2:15 and 5.

It's…read moregorgeous on the outside and the cathedral ceilings and wooden bookshelves on the inside make you almost think you've gone back in time. We call it The Little Library that CAN! It has books (of course), cds, dvds, magazines, computers for research and internet, free wifi, a lovely children section, a meeting room, clean bathrooms, and an elevator. Thanks to the inter-library loan system (brilliant!) you can order any book in the county and have it delivered to your branch for you to pick up (and drop off). In other words, if they don't have it, they should be able to get it for you! The parking lot is small (and on Wednesday nights, full of people attending the church across Cherry Street (grr)) but you can park on Cherry Street and near the ball park without a problem. Plenty of bike space for those who want to ride here.

It's small and quieter…read morethan the Camden library with extra things for the kids to do and all the ladies are extremely kind and friendly. However, every time I am In front of one particular senior librarian ( I will not name her name because I like that could incite bullying) she is demeaning and crotchety. She makes the checkout process feel rushed if there's just one person behind you and got forbid you return your books in the outside book return. Her presence in the library has me choosing to go four times further to the Camden Library just because they are nicer there. It's really unfortunate but I really hope that she or her supervisor checks her attitude because I know I can't be the only one on the receiving end of it.

So I proceeded to ask where the post office was and then was told they close at 4:30... Is that everywhere?? Or just in this town everything closes early here! Anywho, the ladies were super sweet! They told me where I needed to go! I also needed to print off a rebate for my contact lenses I got a while back before it expired so I was able to get a pass to use the computers, no need for a library card unless you borrow any books. It cost 25 cents per page but so worth it if I'm gaining more in my rebate! They've got a pretty decent parking lot. The facility is clean and right by a water park and a playground but there were no swings. The library inside was a decent size. Very quiet and empty but what did you expect!

What an incredible first experience at the Bartram Trail Branch! My family and I recently moved to…read moreFlorida, and from the moment we walked through the doors, every single person we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They didn't just answer our questions, they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. A very special shoutout to Alex. I always get a little nervous telling people we're new to Florida because everything is unfamiliar, but Alex made us feel right at home. She was unbelievably patient, warm, and just an all-around amazing person. You can tell she truly loves helping people, and that kind of service is rare. If there were a way to write a letter to her manager, the library board, or even the Chamber of Commerce recognizing how wonderful she is, I absolutely would. Employees like Alex make a lasting impression and are the reason people keep coming back. Thank you to everyone at the Bartram Trail Branch for making our family feel so welcome. We walked in hoping to get library cards and walked out feeling like we had found a little piece of our new community. Five stars isn't enough!

Paperbacks are $2 and hard covers are $3. Can't beat that! The librarians are so nice and helpful. And they have great areas to sit and read or study as well. It is definitely one of my favorite libraries in the area! And bonus - right now they're decorated for the 250th anniversary of America. So fun.

They have dedicated areas for kids, teens, a quiet room, public computers with internet access, and a hallway filled with discounted books. It also looks like they offer plenty of activities and programs for all ages, which is great to see. My favorite feature, though, was the drive-up book return. I know it might sound like a small thing, but on those days when you're feeling overstimulated and just want to return your books without getting out of the car, it's absolutely perfect. Whoever came up with that idea deserves some credit because it's honestly genius.
