This March, hear about a fascinating and influential (but relatively unknown) figure in Women's History, learn how the group Women Writing for (a) Change takes inspiration and writing techniques from their favorite books at our next Writer's Lab Workshop and join a discussion group on US foreign policy with topics that affect women and girls here in America and around the world!
We are open for artists. We are open for writers. We are open for zinesters. We are open for readers. We are open for live music.
We are open for Art Walk.

The 2023 Northeast Florida Scholastic Art Awards Gold Key Exhibition opens Saturday, February 11 and runs through March 7. You'll be absolutely floored by the hundreds of "Gold Key" (or first-place) paintings, photographs, sculptures, and other mixed-media masterpieces on display. You might even need to make more than one trip. At the very least, you'll need to visit the galleries on the Library's first, second and third floors just to see everything!
If you're a football fan, living in Jacksonville, you'd probably agree that the 2022 season was one to remember!

Celebrate their comeback and NFL's biggest event with these great books for football fans!
