The Safety Harbor Public Library Foundation, a 501(3)(c) organization, was established to encourage private support to ensure the library continues to thrive. Membership, corporate and individual sponsorships, private trusts and private donations are sought to help conduct and support the activities which benefit and enhance the quality of the Library. The Foundation was created to ensure the residents of Safety Harbor and Pinellas County have a strong and secure library for the future.
The Library was founded by Women's Civic Club of Safety Harbor in 1938 and has had a long history of success in the community. The first library was housed in the Club's community house with a second larger faculty later being built on a site obtained through a generous contribution of Dr. Salem Baranoff, founder of the Safety Harbor Spa and Resort. Dr. Baranoff's ongoing support of the Women's Civic Club, allowed the women to continue their commitment to provide necessary library services for the community. More information on the history of the Library can be found here.
In 1994, the City of Safety Harbor opened the existing facility. In April 2009, after significant community input and involvement, the library underwent a renovation that added 9,300 sq ft to the facility. The renovation expanded public space and added a meeting room with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment.
In addition, new points of service included a story hour room, business center, and space dedicated for teens. Also included in the expansion were vital new technologies such as WIFI access and self-checkout. The new expansion also offers display space for local artists and other cultural and programming opportunities.
The improved facility provides a connection to the public by offering many community groups an enhanced location for their meetings. Youth and adult cultural programs are especially popular. Special collections include a deaf collection, literacy collection, Spanish, and the Safety Harbor Herald. The Safety Harbor Public Library hosts the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative's Deaf Literacy Center. The Library continues to offer new technologies, programs, and outreach to the community.
