Belle Cooledge Community Library was established in 1958, and was originally located at 5581 Freeport Blvd. We moved into our new 12,000 square-foot facility at the corner of Fruitridge and South Land Park Drive in 1992.
The library's collection numbers 90,000 items and has 16 internet terminals for public use, including a preschool computer. The library has a free meeting room for community-based organizations.
We serve the Land Park, Greenhaven and Pocket areas. We are part of a family-oriented complex that includes a community center and a children's park/playground.
Belle Cooledge is a delightfully active library with an annual circulation over 400,000. Our community is tremendously supportive. We are proud to have over 900 Affiliate Friends of the Library members. The Friends operate a small bookstore at the branch during open hours. The proceeds are used for library programs and materials.
We are a warm inviting and helpful neighborhood library, with a staff committed to providing excellent library service.
