Birmingham Botanical Gardens Public Library

Wonderful little library to visit when you need a break from the heat and play, or any time! It's not quiet (it's small, so you can hear everyone sitting together planning their gardens at the tables, so I thought the "no talking on cell phones" rule was odd), but it's fun, and in a wonderful location. There is an accesible bathroom, free wifi, outlets at the tables for devices, toys, oversized children's books, several shelves of plant- and animal-themed children's books, and the adult sections look like they're all botanical-related. There's a free plant shelf (you can donate and/or receive). There are several arm chairs and a few tables with chairs, and a large courtyard with tables and chairs right outside. It would be a lovely shaded spot for a birthday party if they allow that. There

One of those hidden gems in the Birmingham area. Fantastic selection of plant and landscaping related books, a seed exchange, a Shades Creek aquarium, used book sales, and a passionate archivist with a deep and broad knowledge.

Wife found on the map, I really like this place would have been nicer in spring or fall, but I enjoyed the visit, come check it out.

This Library is nicer that most. They have a lot of interesting things inside. You can check out books with a Jefferson county public library card witch is super useful. They also have computers for you to use in the library. In addition they have a fish tank and a nice water future outside with a water fall. Although it is small it is still i nice place to be. Five Stars, I would recommend you go!

What a great gift store at The Botanical Gardens! Unique gifts and plenty of pretty garden items. I purchased a really unique succulent container garden along with a delicate necklace. This shows how varied their merchandise selection.
