📖 About Coral Gables Branch Library
The Coral Gables Branch Library is the Miami-Dade Public Library System's branch in the City of Coral Gables — the planned Mediterranean Revival community that developer George Merrick laid out during the 1920s Florida land boom and incorporated in 1925. Merrick designed the city around Spanish and Italian architectural influences, City Beautiful planning principles, and the University of Miami, which today is the city's largest employer. The branch at 3443 Segovia Street reflects that civic tradition: it maintains a community butterfly garden cultivated as a neighborhood project, offers a 91-seat auditorium available for rental and events, and runs a free Saturday homework-help and tutoring program (grades K–12, 10 a.m.–1 p.m.) alongside a full children's and adult calendar. Drive-up Wi-Fi, mobile printing, and room reservations serve everyday needs, while MDPLS cardholders gain full access to the Florida Electronic Library (FEL) and Libby for digital borrowing.
