St. Pete Beach Public Library

The library will be closed on Monday, September 7. Happy Labor Day!

The Little Free Pantry located just outside the library has been more popular than anticipated, with lots of visitors stopping by to “shop.” Any and all donations would be much appreciated. Stop by anytime, day or night, to stock the pantry. And thanks!

Also come by to check out the library’s new Take and Make Kits! There are four bins containing all you need for activities on the themes of Art, Engineering, Coding, or Upcycling. Geared toward grades 3-5, they offer a fun, hands-on way to learn at home.

The book drop as always is located outside the library 24/7 for patrons to return materials. Curbside pickup service is also available; please visit the library webpage (spblibrary.com) to browse the catalog and place items on hold. If the item is on our shelf, you may pick it up the same day. If not, you will be notified when it is available for pickup. Call us at (727) 363-9238 with any questions.

Note: we are not taking donations at this location.
