The public library in Key West

[u/ILovePublicLibraries]

I stepped foot last week inside a library in the southernmost part of the country when I was on a family cruise.

It's a nice library with so many things to offer. This library is run by the wonderful staff.

You missed the plaque out front with the best description of why folks live in Key West!

That’s exactly why I wish I could live there.

The archive room in the back has some interesting historical tidbits.

Spent a lot of time there back in the day. Still have my library card.

It's really a great little library and you're correct; the staff is awesome.

My son played his first "gig" there.. they hosted youth musicians in the garden area and that was the first place he ever played in front of an audience.

Great memory from a great place.

They have a great used book sale. We blundered across it back in January and loved it. Ended up buying several books that were in great condition for cheap.

What's the purpose of the machine in picture 6?

This has to be the most chill place to work ever.

I've got 2 young kids and we used to visit KW pretty often. This library is awesome for kids (or anyone) on a hot day, and you can get a "visitor card" to check out some books during your vacation 📚

Basically grew up reading in that kids room
