Library advocacy doesn’t end with Legislative Day. You can raise your voice by staying informed, sharing why libraries matter to you, and supporting efforts to protect funding for critical library programs statewide.
Together, we can ensure libraries remain strong, accessible, and fully funded for all Floridians. 📚✨

Repost @unflibrary: Some of our prized pieces in the new Allen Lastinger Center for Florida History include antique maps. This particular map, "La Tables des Isles Neufues," is just shy of 500 years old! 🗺️ 🤯

📚 Florida libraries make a difference, every single day.
Each year, millions of Floridians turn to their libraries for learning, connection, and opportunity. Libraries support early literacy, workforce development, digital access, and civic engagement, and much more.
From answering millions of reference questions to hosting thousands of programs and welcoming residents of all ages, libraries remain one of Florida’s most trusted and impactful public resources. 💙
When we support libraries, we support Florida.
