New Year, New Services
We are excited to announce the launch of several new services from the Winter Park Library in the New Year! Starting in January, we will offer digital magazines, online learning tools and videos, Spanish classes, technology classes, and a toy library for our patrons to enjoy. These new services are designed to provide even more opportunities for learning, enlightenment, and community connections.

Beyond Books
Beyond Books is a collection of non-traditional materials, including musical instruments, digital devices, laptops, art kits, toys, bicycles, and more — all available to borrow with a library card. Perfect for a one-time project or to try before you buy.
Learning Spaces
Need a space for group work? Working on a spoken word recording? Study and Collaboration Rooms are available for reservation with a full-service library card.
Toy Library
Check out our new and exciting Toy Library, generously funded by a Winter Park Health Foundation grant. Winter Park Library now allows families to borrow and try fourteen different toys for ages six months - 5 years. Carefully researched by our librarians, these toys will help children build critical developmental skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and color and shape recognition through play. Find available toys on the shelves near the Youth Services desk.
Tech Tuesdays
Want to stay up-to-date on the evolving world of technology? Sign up for Tech Tuesdays with Adam at the Library. Lectures will cover a wide range of current technology topics pertinent to content creators and everyday users. Our experienced instructor will guide you through the material, providing you with the knowledge and skills you need to become a tech expert. The next class is on January 10.
Storytime
At the heart of the Winter Park Library, Storytime is a chance for children and their caretakers to sing, dance, and play while learning early reading skills. Enjoy new storytimes that will be added to our event calendar this year. Look out for: Saturday Stories, Cuéntame una Historia, and ¡Música, Música, Música!
