The West Palm Beach Library Foundation

The Intellectual Heart of the City

 The public library remains the ultimate example of democracy and equality in the United States with free access for people from all walks of life.

More than just an institute of learning, the West Palm Beach Public Library impacts the community with its passionate, involved librarians, outstanding collections of books, DVDs and music, state-of-the art technology resources and an array of community activities and interesting programs.

In addition, the Library brings people together of diverse backgrounds, cultures and ideologies, augmenting our sense of community.

I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves. They never pauperize. They reach the aspiring and open to these chief treasures of the world -- those stored up in books. A taste for reading drives out lower tastes. ~Andrew Carnegie
