Though this library has fewer books than most due to lack of floor space, over half are children's books. With a wonderful park and children's playground right out the door, this is most appropriate. For so many of us, the most welcoming aspect of this library are the librarians/staff, so much so that the local residents bucked the King Country Library system in order to keep their own librarians. These women are the most helpful, very knowledgeable about books AND the many computers, and role models for many of the kids who say they want to become librarians JUST LIKE....(one of names of our librarians).
A very nice library which I have visited hundreds of times over the years. Ordering material online is a breeze and the location is both convenient and very nice, with corner stores up the hill and Richmond Beach just a short walk away. Staff are friendly and helpful and the material on-hand is usually pretty good too, from movies to music to books. There are plenty of computers available for public use and a nice children's section, as well as conference/study rooms. Also, the drinking fountains have ice-cold water, which I love!
No library I've been to is as cozy and inviting as RBL. The staff here is extremely nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The setting is inviting enough that not too many people crowd the area at once and the gorgeous park right outside adds to the tranquil environment this park offers. Not too far of a walk from RBSP but the area it's located at is perfect too.
It's lit and you can get books 4 free
I spent much of my childhood in this library, first in its former location closer to the beach (down to hill) then in its current location in Richmond Beach Community Park. The staff, the item selection, the free use of computers, the book sale at the front entrance, and the comfortable and inviting interior of the building, all of these aspects make Richmond Beach Library awesome.
This is Richmond Beach's own special book haven in a park.
