Pooh, the Mark Twain Library is not part of Paradise -- it is a separate entity. It is located behind Paradise in what is kind of a basement for the Paradise Rec Center. It is really a great little library -- everything from the staff to the books to the magazines is donated. What Mark Twain cannot use, they then donate to the schools (such as all Reader's Digest magazines), local VA, etc. They truly appreciate each and every donation.
BTW -- For those who want to check out books there, all you need is your Villages ID card. Books are due 30 days after check out, movies/dvds/books on tape 7 days. Magazines are yours for the taking. There are no late fees and if you turn something in late, no one will say a word. I know of some snowbirds who check out books on tape for their drive home and return them when they come back down (not recommended but ....).
