Polk County Historical and Genealogical Library
Quick Notes
Image

The Polk County Historical and Genealogical Library is located in the east wing of the Historic Courthouse. It was first opened to the public in January of 1940. The library is under the authority of the BOCC and administered by the Community Services Department and the Parks and Recreation Division. We have one of the LARGEST Genealogical and Historical collections in the Southeast United States!!!  For more information please call (863) 534-4380.  Thank you.
DAYS AND HOURS OF OPERATION
The Library normally operates Tuesday through Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. We observe all national holidays.  An annual operating schedule is available at the library front desk.  It is ALWAYS best to call ahead if you are traveling long distances to use the facility.
ENTERING AND LEAVING THE LIBRARY

This is a secure research facility. You will be asked to sign a guest register and place certain specified items in a locker before you enter the facility. Entrance and exit from the library are through locked gates which are controlled at the front desk by a staff member. In the event of a fire, these gates will open automatically.


The Historical and Genealogical Library is a part of the Polk County Library Cooperative.  Our on-line catalog is available on their web site at http://www.pclc.lib.fl.us/
