located in a small house. As demand grew, they relocated to a City Hall building in April of 1961, which is now part of Florida College. The library shortly outgrew this too as they built their collection and by 1965 they needed a new building and a larger overall operation which included appointing a Library Board which was run by the city. They broke ground in September of that year and opened in April of 1966. The Women's Club remained involved and provided the money for the library's service desk. By the mid-70's they were running out of space and added 5,600 square feet which enlarged the structure by April 1978. On February 18, 1982, tragedy ensued when a fire was set by an arsonist.

decided the solution was to move the books to the adult section. This led to the creation of a committee that aimed to devise a plan to clearly define which entity, City or County, would have control of the libraries. Two plans came about, one proposed by the City Council that "recommended the creation of a seven member council under control of the mayor."
