Richmond Beach Library

We absolutely love the story walk that is currently set up in the park adjacent to the library. We read it almost every day. Although my child never seems to get tired of the story, we hope that there will be another book in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our park!

Richmond Beach Library is a great little library that is sitting right next to an awesome park, so it’s a great place to study and take a walk and enjoy the beautiful views of the Richmond Beach neighborhood area. I’ve come here quite often and I am grateful that it is a public resource. There aren’t a lot of books in print on the shelves but there are enough tables and chairs and computer resources here to make it a valuable asset to the community. There is also a great big meeting space where groups can gather for free. The library is clean and organized, the only slight drawback is that it’s not very quiet inside sometimes when there are a lot of kids or teenagers talking about homework or being tutored, people talk out loud openly within the library. But that’s something easy to tune out if you have some headphones. Highly recommended

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!

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).nThis is Richmond Beach's own special book haven in a park.

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.
