Why isn Winter Park Public Library part of the Orange County Library System?
In 1885, a group of Winter Park residents met to establish the first circulating library in Central Florida. Members contributed their own books and paid an annual membership fee to participate. More than 120 years later, our Library is still independent and operated under the belief that local residents can best plan for and provide their own Library needs. Winter Park Public Library has reciprocal borrowing privileges with the Orange County Library System and with the Maitland Public Library, providing patrons of all three libraries access to most of the services and collections at each branch.
