Leesburg Public Library

Reviewed By gjvision - Okahumpka, United States

Sign up was quick and easy with the helpful staff. My preference is to order books online so they can be brought in from other branches and I can pick them up in one stop. I have found a wonderful selection of Florida informational books this way and intend to continue this. The downtown facility is large and bright. Parking is easy. I also enjoy downloading the Overdrive audio books to my phone for listening while I walk. I hope they continue adding titles to their catalog through Overdrive.

Museum of the Apopkans

Mr. Edward Miner’s exhibit of Early Apopka artifacts at the 1968 Folk Festival in Apopka inspired the formation of an Historical Society. He obtained forms for incorporation and secured the use of 3 rooms in the former school building that had become Apopka City. An amateur archaeological group from the Central Florida Anthropological Society, then exploring at Lake Apopka, agreed to provide exhibits of prehistoric life in the area. The public request for background for exhibit cases brought response from five well qualified artists , new residents to Apopka, who volunteered their talents and created a pictured story of Apopka history. In 2001, the current log cabin style building was constructed to house the museum.
