This is a library, art museum, conference center, courtyard, theater! Jacksonville did a great job with this library, you don't even feel like you're downtown, until you leave. There's a teen room, a children's theater, a courtyard that people have weddings in, etc. It's much more than a library. And they have free events there often.

Beautiful library! This is one great design compared to other states I've visited. I visited the previous day and didn't have a problem. This day it rained so homeless people left the open areas so stinky that I almost vomited. Please get air freshener! I'm soaking in incense before visiting again. The courtyard is clean too.

Rotating exhibit, permanent map collection, murals, peaceful courtyard gardens, and of course plenty of books and a kids area. Has everything you'd want from a main campus library including very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I attended the Holocaust exhibit on 9/22 with my girlfriend and daughter. We loved it. The docent, Juice, was amazing. We learned so much. So glad this library was selected to host this exhibit. We did not get a chance to spend much time in the library, but the building is so beautiful.

Gorgeous building with a massive collection of books, art, and resources. Unfortunately, I think the air conditioning is the most used resource here. Homeless people take up many of the spaces, and while they have a right to public spaces as much as anyone, it does complicate things. As a woman, I would not have felt safe alone, especially in some of the further corners. There were security guards, but mostly at the doors. Most of the reading tables are occupied by people who aren’t reading.

THE WORST LIBRARY in Jacksonville Florida. If you don't believe me, visit all floors and spend at least 30minutes in the grand reading roomk (computer floor) 4th floor BUM INFESTED, LOTS OF PEOPLE COUGHING AND SNEEZING EVERYWHERE and the BATHROOMS are EXTREMELY FILTHY. PLZ CHOOSE ANY OTHER Library!!
