Jacksonville Public Library – Willowbranch Branch

I LOVE this little library!!! It’s a treasure.

Great place to go and get books, just don’t accidentally sit down in the children’s section to pick out a book to read or you’ll be run out for being a pedophile. However I commend this library for hiring employees who suffer from down syndrome and excessive right-​wing paranoia.

Willowbranch Library is my favorite, hands down, of all the Duval County library branches. It’s gorgeous on the outside and the cathedral ceilings and wooden bookshelves on the inside make you almost think you’ve gone back in time.
We call it The Little Library that CAN! It has books (of course), cds, dvds, magazines, computers for research and internet, free wifi, a lovely children section, a meeting room, clean bathrooms, and an elevator. Thanks to the inter-​library loan system (brilliant!) you can order any book in the county and have it delivered to your branch for you to pick up (and drop off). In other words, if they don’t have it, they should be able to get it for you!
The parking lot is small (and on Wednesday nights, full of people attending the church across Cherry Street (grr)) but you can park on Cherry Street and near the ball park without a problem. Plenty of bike space for those who want to ride here.
