Floral City library moves to a temporary home

The old Floral City Fire Station will be the temorary home of the library until construction of the new building is complete. Just two doors down from the old library, we'll be sharing space in the fire station with the Floral City Heritage Council.
Many of the shelves from the old Homosasa library have been reused.
A table and reading area has been added as well.
