Great place to settle in and study all day. Move from outside patio area, to tables in front of sunny windows upstairs with lots of sky and the sunset. What a great use of taxpayer money. :D
I'd like to respond to Jacob's comment. What part of "We are now closed" is not clear? There are loud-speaker announcements starting 30 minutes, again at 15, 10 and 5 minutes before closing time. I feel that is ample time to make a final item selection and check out, or gather one's possessions and vacate the public computer areas or meeting and study rooms. The computers automatically shut off at quarter to the closing time. Why people remain staring at them boggles the imagination. There is ample signage and notice of hours of business and rules of conduct. It is a public building, but common sense, manner and a library voice will get you a lot more than purposefully seeing how long you can make the staff stay after they are no longer being paid for the time. They have been there all day, serving the public, with much patience and dedicaton, and a smile on their faces. Please be kind to them.
Beautiful, well facilited library!!!
We also appreciate the volunteer bookshop which offers excellent value for money.
The library service is a credit to Sarasota County.
I am a fairly frequent visitor to Sarasota from the UK and one of the first things my husband and I do on our arrival is to renew our temporary membership to this library. Of course this gives us access to all Sarasota County Libraries and all for $15. We are consistently impressed by the scope and depth of the catalogue as well as the pleasant atmosphere created by helpful staff.
A beautiful facility, somewhat spoiled by people who seem incapable of keeping their voices down.
