Lake Alfred Public Library Edwin Moore Memorial

Lake Alfred Public Library-Edwin Moore Memorial is a fantastic library located in the small town of Lake Alfred. It is a full service library offering a great selection of books, DVDs, and children's materials for check-out. It functions as part of the Polk County Library Cooperative so if you do not find the book that you want on site, that item can be requested from another Polk County library and it will be delivered to the Lake Alfred Library for your easy pick-up within a few days.

This library offers a full range of services to patrons and residents which includes notary services, copy/print services, fax services, and materials such as envelopes and stamps which make it easy for those who are working on sending out resumes. Very soon laminating services will be available as well. All of these services are offered at a very nominal charge.

The staff at the library is ready to assist you with whatever your needs might be. Each staff member has various areas of expertise but they work together as a team to meet all of the needs of the patrons. The public library like other businesses will sometimes experience times of very heavy patron usage and there may be a wait time of a few minutes. The staff of the Lake Alfred Library works diligently to help every patron as quickly as they possibly can.

Lake Alfred Public Library has free wi-fi available for users who wish to bring their own laptops, tablets, or other devices. Cell phones must be turned off or put on vibrate while inside the library.

A high tech meeting room is available for meetings and presentations. There is a laptop, ceiling mounted projector and large projection screen in this room. The seating arrangement is flexible and can be set up with chairs only or with conference room tables and chairs whichever best meets your needs.

There is a study room available for homework helpers or mentoring students. It has also been used by government service groups who assist those who are seeking to sign up for various government services. The room is private but is glassed in to provide clear visibility enabling the staff to monitor the activity within the room.

The Teen Scene room in the library has a great collection of books aimed at the young adult readers. There are also public access computers in this room for the teens to use in their own space. There is a table and chairs available for teens to work on group projects too.

The children's library consists of two separate rooms. The library section houses hundreds of wonderful fiction and non-fiction books for children of all ages. There are also computers with special software for the children's use in this room. There is a second room, the children's activity room, which is separate and allows the children to do noisier activities in this room without disturbing the quieter areas of the library. The children's activity room has large glass windows so that there is a clear view into the room at all times and no child is left unsupervised.

The Lake Alfred Friends of the Library, Inc. operate their used book store in the south end of the library where they sell donated books, DVDs, and CDs to raise funds to support the many projects that they do for the library. They accept donations of clean used books at any time that the library is open. Just put your used books in a box or some bags and drop them off at the library.
