Florence Library

"A quite clean branch hiding on 2nd floor is an opportunity for those children who dare to succeed spending extra hours doing something positive in a Chaotic environment neighborhood where poverty, starvation shoplifting & deprivation is very clearly Visible. Each & every block around & near by is ignorance type of helplessness_ hopelessness & disappointments are dominant factors which roar for A Victim child of this community crying for A clue of hope like A badly needed resource we call A LIBRARY taken for granted by many. Yes it is a noble work must be encouraged by those who care for Others, for Other's children have same desires & dreams Others children have. We are all children of same God; let's start somewhere & that somewhere starts right here in this Library Staff have been just wonderful people, very polite & helpful to all welcome regardless in a very professional way. I was so pleased to see such a clean, safe place for all regardless the background specially children learning in a quite clean, safe & well disciplined branch recently opened library called Florence. Library Staff must be proud & rewarded from any & all aspects of neighborhood, community & city & County officials need to be generous for our future " children are our protectors & leaders of tomorrow, let's care for them Florence Library's way. God Bless. J J A Patron"

"Very unfortunate that this library has experienced various relocations and seemingly tossed around by the county executives at their whim without regard to the public need. How can they expect to foster an educated and successful generation of people without high focus on these resources which are hard to come by in areas like Florence/Firestone. The people of the community must make their voices heard. As a personal anecdote, I grew up going here and would not have been able to achieve my dream of going to a great university without the learning that took place in the Florence Ave. Building. Wishing the best for this space."

"I called this library to ask if they had a book available and after talking to the very helpful librarian on the phone I visited and had a library card, book, and smile on my face from the awesome service I received here from Karina ( sorry if I got your name wrong) and from having access to this great resource. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, clean quiet environment, available parking, all in all 5 stars. Thank you!"

"The librarians are very nice to kids and they always do fun activities. The librarians are also helpful when you are doing your homework or a project. You can easily check out books easily."
