Welcome to the Lake County Library System located in Lake County, Florida. Your gateway to a world of information

Tavares Public Library

The Tavares Public Library (TPL) connects citizens with information, resources, materials, technology, and experiences in order to make a positive impact in their lives. The TPL manages two Little Free Libraries located in Wooton Park and Aesop‘s Park. The Library’s book bike and Library’s mascot, Captain Tallas, are popular features at city events. The TPL is featured in the book "Going Virtual: Programs and Insights from a Time of Crisis,” a 2021 American Library Association publication showcasing how libraries across America provided programming during COVID-19. The Tavares Public Library completed a 2500 square foot expansion January 2022, designed by DLR Group. The project was funded by the Lake County Library Impact Fees.
