Tavares Public Library

The Lake County Library System is dedicated to serve as the gateway to the world of information, ideas, and entertainment for all county residents.

The City of Tavares Public Library is located downtown Tavares, America’s Seaplane City. The Tavares Public Library connects patrons with experiences, materials, and technology in order to make a positive impact in their lives. The Tavares Public Library manages three Little Free Libraries located in Aesop’s Park, Ingraham Park, and Wooton Park. The Library’s book bike and Library’s mascot, Captain Tallas, are popular features at city events. In 2022, the Tavares Public Library completed a 2500 square foot expansion. The expansion was designed by DLR Group and was funded by the Lake County Library Impact Fees. Original seaplane photography, taken over Lake Dora, is permanently displayed in the Expansion.
