I am using my laptop here! They have free Wi-Fi and great resources. It is a good idea put a book on hold before coming because it says time and money if you use your online account.

Voted Best Use of Public Money in the 2012 Best of Jax contest, the Jacksonville Public Library strives to work with what it's been given, despite shrinking budgets and staffing cutbacks. Way to go!

One of my favorite study spots . Always quiet , plenty of good wifi and laptop charging spots! Also the courtyard is cozy , especially for our wonderful Florida weather!

Fun fact: the bricks and more have the same texture as a emery board. If you need to smooth your nails , use them!
