A fire truck parked on Laura Street in front of the Main Library in downtown <strong>Jacksonville</strong> allowed children to explore as part of the library’s<br />
10th anniversary celebration. (Bob Self/Florida Times-Union)<br />

Libraries are easily accessible<br />
to all residents.<br />
Duval County consists of the Main<br />
Library and 20 branch locations<br />
throughout <strong>Jacksonville</strong>. The Main<br />
Library is a 300,000-square-foot library<br />
in the heart of downtown <strong>Jacksonville</strong><br />
that has a little something for everyone.<br />
The library system of Duval County<br />
directly serves the residents and<br />
employees within <strong>Jacksonville</strong> city limits,<br />
extending to the Beaches and Baldwin<br />
communities. The system also allows<br />
the residents of neighboring counties to<br />
use their services if they meet specific<br />
criteria.<br />
The mission of the <strong>Jacksonville</strong><br />
Public Library System is “to enrich lives,<br />
build community, and foster success by<br />
bringing people, information and ideas<br />
together.” They work to be accessible for<br />
all people in the community by offering<br />
the Talking Books/Special Needs Library<br />
and an adult literacy program.<br />
Not only can you check out books<br />
from the library, but you can score<br />
movies and music as well.<br />
Need a space for meeting or event?<br />
The <strong>Jacksonville</strong> Public Library offers<br />
residents the ability to rent or schedule<br />
use of meeting rooms at various branches<br />
or the conference center at the Main<br />
Library.<br />
