📖 About Indian Rocks Beach Library
The Indian Rocks Beach Library sits at 1507 Bay Palm Boulevard in Indian Rocks Beach, a barrier island city on the Gulf Coast of Pinellas County. The library is operated by the City of Indian Rocks Beach and serves residents with a free library card that includes reciprocal borrowing privileges throughout the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative (PPLC), one of Florida's largest library cooperatives. Non-residents can obtain a red card for $25 per year. The library features a recently expanded and renovated children's area, funded by a donation from the local Rotary Club, a secondhand bookstore operated in-house, and a computer workspace for public use. A $10,000 McDonald's Golden Grants award funded the Florida Explorers Storytime program, a yearlong monthly Saturday series combining literacy and nature themes.
