Such a delightful library, especially for kids. Our favorite place to spend quality time. Playing board games, checking out books, movies and audiobooks, playing in the little kid area, relaxing at the comfy chairs on the 3rs floor, and the fun activity packs for kids. Best library ever!

I come here to try and get my work done and you would think that you would get some silence at a library but NOPE not this one. I specifically go to the quiet rooms at the third floor but it doesn't matter there is always someone talking loud on their phone, eating food, or something.

After thunderstorms and rain prevented our plan of a scenic boat tour we popped over to Winter Haven library, we were so happy to find the children s area with books, blocks, puzzles and baby gerbils to keep our large group happy! Very clean and organized, thank you.

As a resident of Winter Park, i went to see about a library card and hoping to join the library community. I was quickly informed of county municipalities that were frankly not my problem.. Im here for books. I was sent away being told to go to another library that this one would not allow me to use...

This is an outstanding library and should be a model for other cities. They have a very broad selection and lots of natural light - a very comfortable environment. Also, the staff is friendly and always willing to help you find whatever you need. Highly recommended.

I am so thankful for the amazing staff and services offered at the Winter Park Public Library. It s been a blessing to have virtual storytime shared on the library s social media, as well as materials available digitally and through curbside pick up during the Pandemic.

I love WPPL! I can always find something interesting and everything is easy to find. Staff members are very helpful and walk you to where the item you're looking for is. I love that there's a staff recommendation shelf. I've found a lot of the staff likes the same stuff as I do!

Winter Park is the most up-to-date, surprisingly enough. Every time I want a movie or a book that has JUST hit the streets, (it never fails) I'll check my Orange County library first (no dice) and then lo and behold-- Winter Park to the rescue! How do they do it? I don't know. But they're definitely...

Disappointing! I stopped by today the parking lot was was deserted! The library is still CLOSED ? While Orange County Public Library has been up & running for a few weeks already! Taxpayer money at work? that's why so many residents opposed the construction of the new multi-million dollar library. ...

A crown jewel of America's libraries. It's a five star experience though the staff are typically dry, void of any interest in their visitors.

It's more like a museum than a library and a total must-visit for any resident or visitor to the great city of FL.

I used to live right off Park Avenue- on Knowles Street. This was my local library and it was phenomenal! They have such a massive book selection- and they have a floor of DVDs as well. Before the pandemic they would have many classes, groups and events at this venue. This place plays the roll of a ...

There's a book club for everyone and used books for sale in the libraries store. Friendly atmosphere is a blessing! They have the most amazing music collection!

Very disappointed! Beware you must live in the "city limits" to get a card! I live just a few miles but would have to pay an outrageous ...

The Winter Park Library is wonderful! I love their self-check-in and check-out system, and they have a FANTASTIC online system where you can manage your materials. I also get emails sent to me 2 days before my items are due, which gives me plenty of reminder on when each item needs to go back, PLU...

So many of the amenities i enjoyed there aren t offered at WP (book delivery, freegal). I ve learned to adapt since it comes dow...

Winter Park Library has a lot to learn from the Orange County Public Library. Service is not as friendly as Orange County, actually employees are rude sometimes and don't want to be bothered even when checking in items. They say just put the Items by the glass window but sometimes you like to get a...

The female blonde Library sitting on 2nd floor desk is completely rude. She doesn't even try to be nice. I feel very unwelcome when I visit, which happens to be almost daily for my work. She stares me down while I quietly work. My family reads a lot books per week and I check out many books at once....
