Organization
Residents of St. Petersburg have countless resources at their fingertips and around the city, provided by the St. Petersburg Library System.
Over 100 years ago, the city’s first library opened its doors as simply the St. Petersburg Public Library – known now as the Mirror Lake Library. Now, the residents of the city have seven locations to choose from for their reading and resource needs. Its services include a variety of online resources, programs for all ages, and (of course) a vast array of books. Each of the seven locations includes free Wi-Fi, public computer access and resources such as copying and printing and has access to countless copies of books, magazines and most things in between.
