The Library System currently has approximately 360,000 books, 36,000 audio resources, and 14,000 video resources in circulation. In addition to its branch libraries, the Library System operates a mobile library, the Wandering Library", which visits a number of areas in Escambia County each week. For fiscal year 2018/2019 the Library System had 572,533 faculty visits to all branches. History. As new industries brought the city of Pensacola to life in the latter  parts of the 19th century, residents were without formal library services and limited to buying books and exchanging reading materials amongst themselves. Observing and experiencing functioning libraries in cities other than their own, these citizens, under the leadership of a local dentist, took steps to create the first formal “library association” in Pensacola. Dr.  Theo La Far and his associates established the first "in"formal exchange of resources in Pensacola and Escambia County in 1883. The association then took steps to hire Lettie Flynn, a library attendant who would remain employed with the growing library system for 40 years through multiple  relocations and the eventual expansion of services. In 1885, the Pensacola Library Association organized as a subscription library. The library had 184 members who paid .25/month to use the library. During the years of 1904, 1910, 1911 and 1919, the city made attempts to secure $15,000 in Carnegie funds for assistance with building a public library. In order to receive this funding, all Carnegie grant recipients had to agree to several stipulations. These conditions included a demonstrated financial need for the funding, an appropriate site for the construction, willingness to provide staffing and allot ten percent annually to  support the library's operation, and equal access to all patrons regardless of race or color As Pensacola was unable to provide a site or future support for such a library, it was unable to obtain the funds. Furthermore, despite repeated requests, the library association remained unwilling to provide free access to all members of the community, forcing their eventual exclusion from all Carnegie grant monies. The city later allotted 25.00/month and then 50.00/month to the library. Still, the library moved to various locations downtown and, at some point, a bond election failed. In 1933, the subscription library  closed and its books were stored in the San Carlos Hotel. In February 1937, the Pensacola City Council passed an ordinance to establish a free public library and it created a five-member board. In January 1938, Lucia Tryon was hired as librarian to convert Old Christ Church to the city's first formal public library which opened on February 15, 1938 with 3352 books. Also in 1938, the Shakespeare Club opened a library on Oak St. in Milton Florida. By March 1, 1938, the Pensacola free public library counted 2,375 cardholders. On August 17, 1952, the Alice S. Williams  branch was opened to serve the black community and in 1957, a new Pensacola public library opened at Spring and Gregory St. Finally, in 1963, the city of Santa Rosa entered into an inter-local agreement with the city of Pensacola with service to 1800 patrons at the Milton branch library. This was the beginning of the West Florida Regional Library System. Funding and administration. The Escambia County branches and the Wandering Library are funded primarily by the City of Pensacola and Escambia County. The branches also receive aid supplement funds from the State, as well as federal grant money . The West Florida Public Library System is administered by the West Florida Public Library Board, which is made up of nine members, three of which are appointed by the Pensacola City Council and the Escambia County Commission. While several libraries in Santa Rosa County (including the Gulf Breeze, Jay Navarre & Milton branches) used to be a part of the West Florida Regional Library system, they have since parted ways, hence the name change to 'West Florida Public Library'.
