Winter Park Public



For all of the acclaim that Winter Park Public gets for being one of the best public libraries in the state and maybe in the country I don't think that the space is all that attractive. It is a three floor facility with worn out burber carpet and low ceilings. Fluorescent lights everywhere give the building more of a hospital feel than that of a "great good place". When I walk in the door I don't see old friends laughing and calling each other names. Even so, this library has a wealth of resources including books and films. This is the first time in a long time that I don't actually work in a library and I now realize how I took for granted having all of the services a library has to offer at my finger tips. So I keep coming back to Winter Park Public to print things, get music, movies and reading material. I just checked out the sound track to the new movie, Crazy Heart. Sometimes I have one of Beverly's wonderful lemon bars and just the other day I ran into an old friend. Besides as you can see from the picture they are making an effort to create friendly space.

  1. Isn't that a great film? Like a visual country song. Bridges gives a great performance. Is the sound track worth getting? Is Wayne's bar a great good place?
