Spanish Fort Public Library library card
Welcome to Spanish Fort Public Library!

The Spanish Fort Public Library (SFPL) enriches lives by fostering lifelong learning and working to ensure that every member of the community has equal access to a vast array of information, experiences, and ideas.

"The library card is a passport to wonders and miracles, glimpses into other lives, religions, experiences, the hopes and dreams and strivings of ALL human beings, and it is this passport that opens our eyes and hearts to the world beyond our front doors, that is one of our best hopes against tyranny, xenophobia, hopelessness, despair, anarchy, and ignorance."

–Libba Bray, author of The Diviners

Spanish Fort Public Library Is Open

The Spanish Fort Public Library opened to the public on Wednesday May 27, 2020. The temporary library hours are Monday through Friday 8 to 4:30 p.m. We are not yet open on Saturdays . Until further notice patrons entering the building will need to enter the main City Hall doors. A temperature check and a CDC approved survey of roughly six questions will be asked before you can visit the building. At this time the computer lab is not open. Printing and scanning are available just not through the computer lab. WiFi is available and library materials are available for checkout. The annual Summer Reading program will still take place this year, but will look a bit different. SFPL will be sending out information about SR2020 in early June. We look forward to seeing you at the library under this new "normal". Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. The book drop is currently open and materials can be dropped off if you do not want to enter the building.
