About
The Lake City Public Library proudly stands as the second largest library within the Florence County Public Library System, a testament to the unwavering dedication of the FCLS Library Board, Friends of the Lake City Public Library, the Doctors Bruce and Lee Foundation, as well as the staff and community members. Through their collective efforts, the current library was inaugurated in May 2001, replacing the original 2,000 square foot facility established in 1956 with a modern and spacious 12,000 square foot building. This full-service, user-centric library not only houses books but also offers invaluable resources—all provided at no cost to Florence County residents.
The Lake City library has ties with the famous astronaut Ron McNair, who was from Lake City and passed away at the age of 35 during the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger. The current Ronald E. McNair Life History Center on the grounds was originally the Lake City Library, and remains an inspirational site for school-aged children.
