Vanderbilt Beach Library

"Love this library location. Friendly staff and love the small, bright, and comfortable space! Never a problem finding a good read!"

"I tried to go here between work events and just needed a quiet space to relax. You could hear everyone and everything going on, there wasn’t a lot of places to sit besides the computer. And then as I sat down in a space, I was answering a text message and a woman, who was not an employee, came up and accosted me for using my phone outside of the lobby. I was not making any noise, talking to anyone, nothing, yet she was bothered by my presence."

"this library sucks, they are not welcoming, there is no seating and it’s really small so you can hear everyone and everything. The children areas are also not well equipped and there’s no quiet spots anywhere. don’t recommend coming here if you’re looking to do any type of library activity except be on the computer."

"Vanderbilt Beach Library is a small but well-stocked library located next to many popular spots. The contrast of the (somewhat) quietness of this library and the busy, popular locations next to it is very ethereal feeling. The surrounding is very mystical, as it’s surrounded by somewhat of a forest. I feel like this would be a very nice spot to just relax from the usual Vanderbilt Beach area. Overall, I recommend this library for anyone who can read!"

"Honestly, this is the loudest library I have ever been to in my life. For the 4 hours that I was there, the librarians at the front desk took turns talking to each other the whole time. It was like being in an office with three of your loud colleagues who are constantly talking while you’re trying to concentrate and get a project done. No whispering voices or silence. I could literally hear every single word, even their lunch break plans. Someone should update them on the correct library etiquette."
