Dunedin Public Library

This library is smaller than some of the other libraries but it is cozy, inviting and I love the fact that it has a Silent reading area which is ideal to study. They also have seating areas (with multiple electrical plugs) outside the reading room that is also fairly quiet. They have a small book store, an area for children, and they always have programs for all age groups. I still have not gotten a library card because they don’t have the type of (medical school) books i need, but i plan to in the future because they have audio books, music, movies, etc. They also have pretty good library hours Monday-​Wednesday 9:30am– 8pm, Thursday & Friday 9:30am– 6pm, Saturday 9:30am– 5pm and Sunday 1−5pm … so I have found my study spot !

I love libraries and this is one of Dunedin’s best! Libraries have evolve due to new media! As a total smartphone geek, I do almost everything on it. That includes reading books. BUT, I can still spend hours at this library just researching old school and opening a book or use the alternative media available. They inventory is extensive. I was surprised when I searched for extremely technical books in my unique field of cryptology! Yeah, I did mention I was a geek! They cover everything for everyone! And yes, programs for any taste, young and old, old school and eclectic!
I have to mention the staff and volunteers! They are the friendliest and helpful! Each time I visit, I always find a great environment created by all those who are on the library floor!
Here’s a revelation… take your kids to the library and see what happens! Now, go read a book!

I love my local library they have great hours and friendly staff. This little gem is smaller compared to some of the other libraries in the county but I love being able to order books and pick them up from the Dunedin branch. They always have programs going on for everyone from story time for the little ones to book clubs for adults.

THEY HAVE A DISCOUNT BOOKSTORE!!! WHAAAAAAAAT!!!
For a reading junkie like me, realizing that little room at the entrance was not a book sorting area but a real live discount bookstore nearly sent me into catatonic ecstasy. There is a clearance cart at the front (50 cents or less, I believe) and all of the fiction hard and soft cover books are never more than $ 3. They also have large print books, non-​fiction, biographies, magazines, textbooks, cookbooks, young adult, and religious/​inspirational texts. The titles and authors weren’t anything to shake a stick at, either; there were some trashy romance novels and unheard of authors, but if you’re willing to look you can find some great novels. So far the notable books I’ve picked up include Hannibal Rising, One Thousand Splendid Suns, 2 of the Da Vinci code novels, and various other well known best sellers as well as timeless classics like Pride and Prejudice.
After spending the better part of an hour running my hands over all the book spines (looking like an absolute lunatic in the process, I’m sure…) I left with a grand total of 14 books for less than $ 10. I go usually once a month on payday and I look forward to it with much enthusiasm. Thank you Dunedin Library for this wonderful little bookstore!
Oh, yeah, the library itself is pretty great too. Lots of computers, plenty of selection, and within walking distance from quaint downtown Dunedin. I just love this community!

Friendly workers, you can pick up your own holds without having to ask someone to get it for you and there’s self-​checkout kiosks. Whoo!

Love the Dunedin library! Staff is super helpful and love the self checkout! They offer a lot of community services like small business consulting and free movie series complete with popcorn. Exceptional library.
