We happily return to our six-days-a-week schedule, starting now! All five libraries–Key West, Big Pine, Marathon, Islamorada and Key Largo–will be open Mon.-Sat. until at least 6 p.m.  A huge thanks to the County Commission, our Budget office, Library Advisory Board and the supportive Keys residents who advocated for restoring the staffing needed to reopen on Mondays.
Stop by to say hello to our new staffers–Monday through Saturday. Click here to view our updated hours.

We’re all going a little Centennial crazy here in the Keys. And why not? How often do we get to revel in a centennial celebration?
Library folks are all aboard, too! Take a look below for a documentary featuring a familiar face, library read-alongs, oral histories from our vault, and more.

Residents of the Keys may soon add a new verb to their vocabulary–’geek.’ Monroe County Public Library is participating in Geek the Library, a community-based public awareness campaign. The campaign highlights what people are passionate about–what they ‘geek’– and how our libraries can support them.
Look for Geek the Library booths at many community festivals and fairs over the next year. We look forward to hearing all about what you Geek!
