- The economy is tough right now! -…read more My Problem- I read over 200 books a year! That's not a typo, sometimes 250! I'm retired and do it through eBooks with Kindle Unlimited and I love it. Otherwise, I'd need to take out 2nd and 3rd mortgages. The downside is new releases, and big-name authors usually are not included without paying a lot of extra $$. Not in this economy! My Solution- Enter my wonderful library and the synergy between them, and Amazon, and an awesome app called Libby. How it works- Make sure you have a library card. Download the free Libby app, enter your card number, and tell it you have Kindle Unlimited. Now, you can borrow a library book from the Libby app. If it's not available, the app will notify you when it is. Now, you can borrow it, and it will automatically appear as an eBook in your Kindle Unlimited library for free! Say what! That's very cool! Check my picture. That's my Kindle library and the Clive Cussler book is from my local library. Amazon would have charged me $10 but it's free to me. Crap you say, I don't have or want Kindle Unlimited. No problem. You can borrow a book in Libby and read it for free with Libby's built-in reader! It's all thanks to the original resources of your local library! As I mentioned, sometimes the library's copies of a very popular book will be all loaned out. Libby will notify you when a copy is available. Conclusion- In this economy, this is a 5-star experience with 0 extra outlays!

Who doesn't love a good book! I visit this library a lot when I'm in town with my kids I'm pretty…read moresure they are sick of me lol! I checkout 20 books which is the max you can checkout anytime I visit. My son left his book unattended and our dog chewed it up when I went to explain to the librarian what happened she was so understanding. I paid for the book and told her that we would definitely be more careful in the future. My family definitely loves coming here. There are several computers to use and it has a decent amount of parking. It is always clean when I walk in and the kids section has toys, books, tables to draw on and computers for them to use. If you want a good book come to the Avon park public library!!!!

I had a collection of National Geographic Magazines in beautiful condition that was over 30 years old, and could find no one to take them. I hated the thought of having to destroy them. I called them after many days of trying to find someone to take them, and they agreed to take them in and use some in there store and the rest in the library. I was so happy that they received a home where they would be appreciated for the incredible works that they are. I cannot thank them enough for being so caring and helpful. This library was a long time coming, and I hope that it stays for many years to come. Most sincerely Kathaleen Morales Port St. Lucie, Fl.

When you go in through the entrance there is a coffee shop on the left and then they have a used bookstore which was where we were headed. The actual library is through another set of doors to the right. We spent quite a bit of time in the bookstore going through the wide selection of used books they had available. I found one book on the racks they had out in front of it and then stumbled across three more I wanted while inside. All four of the books I bought happened to be Stephen King novels but they had a lot of other good choices. My kids picked up a couple of books for gifts as well while we were there. The people working the store were very friendly and helpful.

I hear rumors they may rebuild. Hope so. Anyhow, this library on Aaron St. is great and they have been busy trying to fill in for the the closed library. And I confess I love the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. I donate and buy many books from the used book stores by the libraries. I just read (from their used book store) the play A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. I confess I never read it before and it was a fun fast read. Then I found the play on television and watched it. Loved them both.
