Ormond Beach Public Library

The librarians here are extremely friendly and at tentative, both in the Children’s room and general reading room. They have a wonderful reading program for children where they allow kids to pick prizes each time they finish a certain amount of books. Best of all my girls LOVE the doll house (ask for dolls at the librarian’s desk in children’s room). They can play for hours here. Literally. There are tons of puzzles, board games and nice collection for children. The book store in adults section is great, diverse selection and excellent prices. I have filled huge tote bags twice for under $ 6. I have t been here without my 3 and 5 year old yet so I have had ample time to assess the adult collection beyond what is on the“new Books” shelves close to check out. They also have a teen reading room that looks cosy and interesting!

This is my main library. Most of my books are e-​books or audio and I download them from this library via an app called overdrive. That being said when my wife and I am walking the bridge across the street from the library we stop in for a magazine browse and to cool down in the A/​C. This library has everything you need and if they don’t they will order it for you. They have movie DVD’s and audio books on CD and even cassettes (for those that still have the players). Plenty of books to browse and an entire children’s section that my kids grew up in.
Make sure to look at the bulletin boards by the water fountain as well to look at all of the free classes and events going on at or around the library.

Ormond Beach Public Library is an impressive place that shares a building with the town offices. The building itself isn’t particular aesthetically pleasing but does have a stunning fountain with some dolphins in the front.
The inside is very modern with all the newest amenities and nice selection of books and periodicals. A place where you can find a comfy spot to do some real work or just sit back and relax with a good book.
The children’s department is decorated with all kinds of cutesy things and has enough space to let the kids burn off some energy.
What I really enjoyed about this library are all the old photos in the hallway by the bathrooms. A photographic history of the town and region that is fascinating to look at.
Toward the entrance there is a wonderful model of a sea turtle that seems to be swimming right by without a care in the world. This is a very cool library that will entertain as well as educate.
