Mary Esther Public Library A proud member of the Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative! We support lifelong learning for all residents. Welcome to the Mary Esther Public Library!

As part of the Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative the Library extends free services to the entire county population. We are a 6,000 square foot library serving Okaloosa County and the over 4,000 Mary Esther City residents and many visitors to our beautiful region. The library has 10 public internet computers, and 3 children's computers. Visitors and out-of-county patrons are charged a mode

rate fee to register a card and circulate materials but they may use our in-house materials such as WIFI and computers for free. Through the library the city of Mary Esther is supporting lifelong learning for all of it's residents. Children's programming is offered for babies and toddlers through middle grade students. Adult programming is offered for all adults and is primarily book clubs, arts and crafts, and relaxing through coloring. The non-fiction collection is particularly strong in cookbooks and biographies and the fiction collection is strong in mysteries and current popular authors. The library’s catalog (readokaloosa.org) provides access to all six Okaloosa Cooperative library collections. Electronic information resources are expanding to meet the needs of the entire community.
