Palm Beach County Library System - Wellington Branch

As a local mom of three and a real estate agent, the Wellington Branch Library is one of our favorite places. We come often after school for reading and homework, and it always offers a calm, quiet, and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is exceptional—kind, attentive, and truly supportive of both kids and adults. I love the spacious kids’ area where little ones can learn and read without disrupting adults who are studying or working. The monthly craft activities and smart games for kids are a huge bonus and always a hit with my children. As a realtor, I frequently use this library as a quiet place to focus and work for my clients. I highly recommend this wonderful neighborhood library to families and professionals alike.

I love this library and come here every week. It is spacious, clean, newly renovated (no ugly brown carpet), and has an extensive collection of resources from books, magazines, DVDs, and even movies. They also have very nice kids classes. We really enjoy Preschool Playdate and Sensory Playtime. My son also likes the open play space with blocks and legos. We have not seen such a space at other libraries. Just avoid it from 2 pm-5 pm because they have free snack for elementary kids so it’s run over by kids from Elbridge Gale. Other than that it’s an amazing community space.

I don’t understand why people feel the need to have loud conversations on their phone in a library. Nobody seems to care, I have tried to come in to study several times and each time I come in, there’s always someone on their damn phone. Take the calls outside. I remember libraries used to be a a quiet place to read and study without the distractions of others. Apparently things have changed these days. This location needs to have a rule in place for loud phone conversations and loud conversations in general. Super disappointed.

Love this library, it's clean, spacious, and well-lit. I also like that a lot of people use it, it has a great energy whenever I go. My only complaints are that they often don't have books, even famous ones, at the Wellington branch. So you have to place a hold. (And they will not accept donations of new books.) Also, the hours seem so restricted, like 10am opening on weekdays and Saturdays, 11am on Sundays.

I love the library. They have books, DVDs, blue rays, magazine. Manga. You name it. You can request a hold on any book through the library app. Then they will hold ot for you to pick up. Works with movies. Even the latest new releases. And if you want to get a feel for an old time Friday night video store night. Go browsing through all their DVD collections. Reminds me of going to blockbuster. You might just find a movie to watch that you forgot about. The place get a very crowed after school. So be aware. But other than that its a great library. I love it.
