Riviera Beach Public Library is the public library of Riviera Beach, a city of roughly 35,000 residents on a barrier island and mainland site north of West Palm Beach, Florida. The library is operated by the City of Riviera Beach and sits at 2129 North Congress Avenue, accessible to residents across the city's marina district and inland neighborhoods. Its mission — providing free access to information, ideas, resources, programs, and technology to support educational, cultural, and recreational needs — reflects Riviera Beach's majority-Black community and its strong tradition of civic investment. Digital resources are a core offering: cardholders can access OverDrive/Libby for eBooks, hoopla for instant streaming, CloudLibrary for e-reading, and the Brainfuse tutoring platform for academic support at any hour.
