Flomaton Opens New, Expanded Library
November 10, 2010
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Tuesday for the new Flomaton Public Library.
“It will allow us to offer many more services because it has so much more room,” said Librarian Faye Knowles. “It is a great facility.”
The town’s old library was only 2,400 square feet, while the new library is nearly four times that size. The extra space will allow the library the room to increase its book collection, provide space for meetings and programs, and offer room for library patrons to sit and read or use the wireless Internet access.
Residents outside of Flomaton are also able to enjoy the library, Knowles said, with library cards available to residents of both Alabama and Florida at no charge. Proper identification and a complete library card application are required.
The new Flomaton Public Library is located at the corner of Church and Houston streets, one block east of Sidney Manning Boulevard (Highway 29) in the downtown area. The library is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday. For more information, call (850) 296-3552.

Wow this is a great Library. Whoever designed this library is an excellent Architect. The amount of natural light and space planning is great. I love the marble flooring and the columns used in this beautiful library. I was thoroughly shocked to find this piece of gem in Flomaton, Alabama. This library should be a precedent for other small town libraries.
It’s a nice library, speaks well of Flomaton.
What a beuatiful addition to your fair city. I am looking forward to visiting it in the near future.
This is a wonderful thing for Flomaton and all the surrounding area plus people traveling through to and from Hwy 113. The computers are such an asset to someone who does not own one. The Library is state of the art so everyone take advantage of what they have to offer! Way to go Library Committee!!!!!
Way to go library committee.. This is a plus for our town. You have the right to be proud of your accomplishments..
