Bartow Public Library

Bartow Library is building a Story Trail! This will be an outdoor space to stroll, play, relax, read, and encourage kids to read, set all around the beautiful grounds and lake between the library and Mary Holland Park next door. Construction of the trail and features is set to be finished by fall, 2026.

Love this place. I get books by mail usually but I go in to renew them if I've had them too long and they never give me trouble about it, I don't even have to show them the book to renew it. I love their staff, and I've found some good sale books in the shelves at the front. There are lots of little quiet places to read and it's a good place to bring your kids after school.

I love the Bartow Public Library. It’s a spacious, well-designed library with a great selection of resources and books.
One of my favorite features is the availability of private rooms, which can be reserved for up to three hours—perfect for studying or working without distractions.
The library is clean, well-maintained, and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful.
I would definitely return and highly recommend it!

Love this library. They are consistently kind and helpful, and especially patient with my children. When I have needed help at the printer, they went above and beyond to help me. The space is always clean, organized, and welcoming.

It was nicely decorated and easy to find things. They were so creative with their summer program decor and challenges that they provided for the kids.

Very friendly and patient staff. I use the library to print, scan, and email documents. I also like they have the Hoopla App. to checkout Ebooks.
