📖 About Eau Gallie Public Library
The Eau Gallie Public Library is a branch of Brevard County Public Libraries serving the historic Eau Gallie district of Melbourne, on Florida's Space Coast. Its roots reach back to the 1930s, when members of the Eau Gallie Woman's Club shared books informally; the collection was organized in 1939 and became a free public library in 1954 under an agreement between the Woman's Club and the Brevard County Commission, making it one of the oldest libraries in the county system. The library settled into a purpose-built home at 1521 Pineapple Avenue in 1962, and a new, larger building was constructed on the same site in 1998. Today it lends from the shared Brevard County catalog, so a single county card borrows across every branch from Titusville to Palm Bay, and offers public computers, Wi-Fi, meeting space and year-round programs for the neighborhood.
