The Winter Park Library began when nine women, all “well educated, capable, energetic, and affluent, came together on the morning of December 9, 1885, to affix the stamp of organization to the Winter Park Circulating Library Association.” The nine women were: Mrs. Elizabeth Hooker, Miss Evaline Lamson, Mrs. W.O. Cady, Miss Mary McClure, Miss Alice Guild, Mrs. C.J. Ladd, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Cook, and Miss Mary Brown. The Congregational Church parsonage was the site for the organizational meeting.
Today, The Winter Park Library is future-ready with a new facility! A 21st century, world-class campus designed by renowned architect Sir David Adjaye, partnering with local firm Hunton Brady, and located in a new, nearby location next to Martin Luther King, Jr. Park.
You’ll find more spaces and improved places that give residents access to the things that transform lives and promote literacy, creativity, school and career readiness, inspiration, culture, and community engagement.
