The Seminole County Public Library System is a five branch library system serving a population of over 470,000 citizens. Established in 1978 by action of the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners, the library is a Division of Seminole County Government. A portion of our materials have been funded under the provisions of the State Aid to Libraries Grant program, administered by the Florida Department of State's Division of Library and Information Services.

Annual circulation approaches 2.5 million. Our five branch library buildings are open 64 hours per week, 7 days a week. Our Virtual Library is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

We offer a full range of services including:

• Collection of over 500,000 volumes, as well as audiobooks, magazines, newspapers;
• Free Internet access and Wi-Fi.
• An experienced staff of reference librarians, available to answer your questions;
• Homebound Mail Service for those physically unable to travel to the library;
• Award-winning programs for children;
• Public meeting rooms for community groups and organizations;
• 24/7 access to the library catalog and research articles and resources;
• Enriching teen and adult events and programming.

Our friendly library staff greet you with a smile and customer-centered service; always ready to check out your books, present a literacy program to your little ones, or dig for research on your latest topic of interest. And, just like the TV sitcom, regular customers will say that the library is a place "where everyone knows your name."

Our volunteers provide invaluable support to staff in many different ways. If you would like to volunteer and are age 16 or older, please fill out the Volunteer Application and make an appointment to meet with the Volunteer Coordinator at your branch.
