About

The St. Pete Beach Public Library, located at 365 73rd Avenue (about two blocks from City Hall), was founded in 1951 by the St. Petersburg Beach Community Club. It became a municipal library when the City of St. Pete Beach was incorporated in 1957. The current 8,200 square foot building was constructed in 1969, partially refurbished in 1995, and temporarily relocated to 7470 Gulf Boulevard during a major renovation in 2020-2021.

Today, the Library is a division of the City's Administrative Services Department. It has been a member of the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative since 1989. This county-wide library collaboration affords SPB patrons full access to all materials and services of the 14 PPLC member libraries throughout Pinellas County.
