Winter Park Library

Our Mission

Connect people to knowledge and resources to amplify learning and build a stronger community.

Our Vision

We aspire to be: The intellectual gathering place that unites and inspires our community.

Our customer service desk serves as the main point of service for checkouts/returns and account services. In addition to our physical collection of more than 130,000 books, magazines, DVDs, software, and music, our members can access more than 50,000 digital e-books and e-audiobooks, in addition to premium online research databases with journals, magazines, and articles. Additionally, as part of delivering a robust “library of things” to the community, we offer members the ability to checkout bicycles, fitness trackers, iPads, laptops, umbrellas, and Wi-Fi hotspots.

Each day, at this university for the people, nearly 800 area residents cross our threshold to find resources that educate, entertain and/or enlighten. Our circulation staff helps patrons locate and check out 650,000 materials each year and, through our homebound program, delivers materials to city residents in need.

With more than 11,700 cardholders, the Winter Park Public Library is one of the city's most widely utilized and, according to city surveys, highly valued resources. Residents of Orange County and Maitland receive reciprocal borrowing privileges here at our Library, and hundreds of people who do not reside in Winter Park purchase our library cards because they so highly value our services.
