March 15, 2013
An April 1 opening date has been set for the new Molino Branch Library.
The new library in the Molino Community Complex will be open 52 hours per week – from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
“This long awaited branch will be a wonderful resource for the citizens of Molino and the surrounding community. We are expecting it will be a highly used facility,” said Darlene Howell, library administrator.
An opening reception will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 1 to give the public an opportunity to meet the library staff, peruse the opening day collection, register for a library card and tour the facility.
The Molino Branch Library is located at 6450 Highway 95A (just south of Molino Road) in the Molino Community Complex, which opened back in October 2012.

As an avid reader, I am so pleased that my home community is finally getting a much needed library. I plan to use this library frequently! I am sure that there are many others in our community who feel likewise.
What an excellent use for the old school. I taught adult school there for many years.
I toured the facility recently, and was amazed at the renovations.
I can hardly wait for opening day.
This is wonderful news, and a blessing to the community! I can hardly wait. I will actually be able to visit the librayry again, but even more importantly, so will families, students, and other adults.
Access to a wide variety of printed and other media will open up a world of discovery for children and others. I hope the Molino Branch Library is a magnet for learning and personal enrichment for generations.
Can anyone tell me if the library is accepting donations of used books?
This is great news.
The library will be a real asset to the community.
Please, take your children and encourage them to read.
Does anyone know anything more about the proposed walking track behind the complex?
This library has a chance to a source of stability for the Molino area. The children can go there to learn, play, and hopefully, stay out of trouble! lol
Love the new playground behind the library for the little ones.
This is a wonderful addition to our community and everyone is thrilled! I am so glad to see this lovely old building put to good use instead of just becoming an eyesore with overgrown plants!
