Catherine Schweinsberg Rood Central Library — Attraction in Cocoa

Don't doze off while reading at this library! The employees here will be on you like flies to a fresh pile of dog dung! I was told they had 15 people trespassed last week for repeatedly falling asleep while reading at this library. I guess library managers haven't figured out Cocoa police have better, much more important things to do like investigate and arrest real criminals. I've dozed off for a minute myself while reading something. However, they harass me for not "sleeping" at the library within 5 seconds of closing my eyes and I'm not sleeping! I do this frequently because I have a medical condition called dry eyes. Today I was sitting at a table, looking down at my cell phone with my reading glasses on reading and this silver haired woman from reference who has an accent, who always harasses me, came over and told me to wake up! I wasn't sleeping! My eyes were never closed! Before she said a word I turned and looked at her because I saw someone approaching me out of my peripheral vision. Can you imagine?! It's the Cocoa library Gestapo! Perhaps they should make certain someone is sleeping before they accuse them of sleeping! The library managers are treading dangerous legal grounds!

Something dark has gotten into everyone. We're out to get each other for even the smallest reasons. I've had friends say that "darkness" started as we were coming out of the Covid pandemic. One told me me she sees it now, but not before the Covid pandemic. She says Covid or the vaccines or both put something evil...

The young man with the pony tail ,in the front helped me in a timely manner to get a library card. Personable/ pleasant and I left with everything I needed . Thank you for your assistance .I came with my State driver license. My child got a library card last year, so I was on file already 😊 You would think the way the brunette woman ,with the cakey powder on her face, next to the gentlemen who helped me was working for TSA at the airport. Mall cop security vibe . She hovered around shuffling random papers being sort of nosy/intrusive. I WAS going to scan some documents at one of the computers but I didn't bother dealing with her glaring at me . I went to Starbucks and got a latte and decided I could try the library another day ✌️ my iPhone scans documents anyway. Waste of time. Not the kind of person who should be in contact with the public next to someone who actually...

Our SALT group went on a tour of the Cocoa library, today and I was blown away! They have really updated, expanded and added a lot of new things! It's a magical place! Most of the great things they offer the public are free!! The only thing that there is a small change for, is the material you use for the 3-D printer!

They offer many & varied classes & some are thought by none library employees, so there's a small fee.

They have a book store where they sell donated books from 50¢ to a couple of dollars.

There are 3 studios that you can use for making Pod Cast, Videos, record music or save pictures from your phone or laptop to a flashdrive etc.

Their Genealogy Department is extensive, as is their History Department. And it's world wide reference material. You can use their Ancestry program to do your...
