We are so very sorry to inform everyone that the library has had to close. The building has been deemed unsafe due to structural damage. Both the insurance company and the Lee County Building Commissioner have said that the building will be condemned. The Town of Loachapoka is graciously looking into providing a new and improved building for us to use. Please be aware that this will take time to accomplish. I will be posting here as more information is provided. Thank you for your time and patience as we go forward. AB

We are excited to announce that the "Friends of Loachapoka Public Library, Inc" has applied for nonprofit status and can officially accept donations. Any money donated to the FOTLPL will be tax deductible and will go straight to making the Loachapoka Public Library successful (including rent, utilities, new books, and paying a part-time librarian).
Please make checks out to FRIENDS OF LOACHAPOKA PUBLIC LIBRARY, INC. We appreciate all support we receive to make the library sustainable for years to come.
