What comes to mind when you think of your public library? Rows of bookshelves? The quiet hum of people studying and reading? Children enjoying story time? If you haven’t explored your Pinellas Public Library recently, you might be surprised by what’s waiting to be discovered!
Try Something New – No Commitment Required
Grow your own food or flowers from seeds, tackle a home improvement project without another trip to the store, learn a new musical instrument, or plan a beach day with gear like a tent, portable speaker, and a folding wagon to haul it all, PPLC Member Libraries offer all these items and more.
You can also check out a Museum Pass for free admission to one of 20 local cultural attractions. This is a great way to plan a family outing or explore something new without the added cost. Explore what museums are available at pplc.us/museums/.
Need to knock things off your to-do list? Your public library has you covered. Print, scan, access Wi-Fi, or find a quiet space to get things done. You can even register to vote at your Pinellas Public Library.
Discover and Preserve Your Past
Trace your family history using genealogy resources available at several PPLC Member Libraries. You can access the Ancestry database at all locations and get expert help from the Pinellas Genealogy Society, based at Largo Public Library.
Have old family photos, slides, or videotapes? Digitize them at select libraries throughout the county and preserve them for future generations.
Your public library helps you save money, learn new skills, and try new things. Visit your local library to discover what’s available beyond books. Your library card opens more doors than you think!
