The Collier Center

"What happened to the Martin County Public Library? This "center" closed our excellent downtown public library, grabbed up all of the county's library tax revenue. did a hap-hazard job of putting up some book shelves, gave any good jobs to buddies and now call it, for some reason, "The Collier Center?" We were told it's now the county public library, but, well, so far, not one sign, not one word, that it's no longer the county library, which nevertheless bailed the erstwhile "community center" out of debt and now pays nearly all its bills -- although I'd bet the Rufus Reed Library over in Warfield, which was purchased by the "library board" for $149,000 from (you know, after the library board had paid them $730,000 in rent since 1983), library records show, is still in business. A good prosecutor would examine these transactions."

"Love the theater there but not too fond of the seats inside. Feels like you're being squished when you sit down in them. There's also multiple other events/things you can do inside The Collier Center. Check it out for yourself!"

"I haven't been to the community center in a few years but I remember when its doors opened. I lived in the county over but my cousins lived in Martin county so I spent as much time there as I did at home. We spent soooooooo much time at the community center. We would go and stay all day long playing basketball, getting on the computers, and watched many a movies in the theater. I think every town should offer a nice place like this for kids."

"It's wonderful to have this community center available in Inez. I appreciate that so many various events and activities can happen here. I also appreciate that new movies are shown here so folks don't have to travel too far away. Anytime I've ever interacted with the staff here I find they're very friendly and so informative. I encourage everyone to check it out if you haven't had the chance to yet."
