Tower Road Library Branch | Alachua County Library District

4 words: FREE LANGUAGE EXCHANGE PROGRAM
This review is specifically for the Tower Branch Road location of the Alachua County Library District. This location is near and dear to my heart, because it is located on Tower Road and in a close proximity to Gainesville’s best schools and many families of various nationalities that use the library space in an amazing way, as a community center for learning.
Tower Branch Library is also very unique because of the free language exchange program they offer. At the time, I was able to volunteer as an English language tutor to a wonderful group of Korean and Mandarin speaking adults. Along the way, making many lifetime friends and acquaintances. Also, learning some Korean in the process. As you can see, I HIGHLY recommend their language exchange program at this location. It is a rare find.
Many people that I have talked to say that public libraries are a daycare center for the homeless, aging, and children. At this location, that is very far from the truth. This is the best community based, learning environment library that I have been to. The management and librarians at this location are so down-​to-​earth, kind, and organized. I was blown away by their professionalism throughout the year that I volunteered there.
The Alachua County Library district is funded in many ways, but I do notice the public library fee on my family’s monthly escrow property payment. It is not that much per month and is totally worth it.
