Land O'Lakes Library - Land O' Lakes, Florida

The remodel ruined this library. Where did all the books go? The area for adult-level books is small and the shelves are short. There is no room for new books. The selection of books will never get better than it is right now. Most of the previous bookshelf space was replaced with meeting/study rooms that were mostly unused the few times that I visited. It used to be fun to come here, the vibe was energetic and upbeat. Now it feels dull, sterile, and sad. However, I will give it a high rating for nice cool a/c and clean restrooms. But for books and a fun library feeling, it's a fail.

Simply put an outstanding library. There is a lot of substance packed into one floor small to medium sized building. There are plenty of public computer's an outstanding DVD section. The kids section is large and would have gotten pics but didn't want to make the patrons uncomfortable . 4 stars and not 5 is do to the lack of power outlets to seating options. This is unacceptable and doesn't make sense in 2018. The chairs are cloth covered and pretty comfortable much better than vinyl and doesn't give you a sweaty butt. There is plenty of parking and it's in a rural setting. I do alot of traveling and love to visit library's to do work and this one works for me.

It's a great library, love the music garden outside the kids area, fun to play with. The selection of books is limited, which I know with technology they can borrow and get things, it's just got a lot of empty space and not a lot of books as I remember of my libraries growing up. My kiddo loves it there though.

Staff seem nice and willing to help. Not a huge selection of books.. but they help you order books if needed. Nice enough aesthetic.

Meh. Cross Creek is a much better library. A few passive aggressive librarians here. Go elsewhere if possible.

I absolutely love coming here– there's lots of space to sit and read or use the computers, and there are often events going on, especially for kids. The remodel also added an expanded makerspace and a bunch of lovely private study rooms to work in. I just wish that they hadn't removed so many of the books in updating the space, or that they at least end up bringing the bigger bookshelves back.

This is a wonderful new place for all ages to enjoy! It's more then books to check out, they offer dvds, music, educational toys, binoculars set for birders donated by Tampa Audubon..
Countless online books, movies, etc! You do not even need to leave your home!
It's got lots of places to use computers, printers ( you can send in from home pick up at library), fax also! Lots of fun free classes, the woodworking shop is my favorite.

Half the books are gone if not more, and the big, practical shelves have been replaced by puny little shelves so there won’t ever be room for more books to be added. The building is practically empty And it felt so dull, yes that’s amazing that one can use online to read when they can’t move - but that break the whole experience of a library.. I used coke in during my elementary days and this library felt like a whole magical place with all the new books that I look forward now it’s sad and disappointed.

I hope the community acknowledges this horrible remodeling interior
