Bruton Memorial Library, Public library in Plant City, Florida.

Bruton Memorial Library is a public library in Plant City that holds about 105,000 books, digital materials, and reference resources for the community. The facility features public computers, Wi-Fi access, printing equipment, and trained staff to assist with research and information needs.

The first public library in Plant City opened in 1929, starting with just 317 books thanks to efforts by the Woman's Club. It received its current name in 1990 to honor Quintilla Geer Bruton, whose support helped the library grow and develop over time.

The library's name honours Quintilla Geer Bruton, who began campaigning in 1949 for Plant City to run its own public library. The Woman's Club of Plant City had opened the first public library on 21 June 1929 with 317 books, and its members paid a fee to borrow from shelves in the club room.

The library is located on Wheeler Street and offers plenty of space for reading and research in a comfortable setting. Before visiting, check the opening hours so you can make the most of the free services like computers and printing available to the public.

In 1960, Hurricane Donna struck the new library before its dedication and shattered windows across town, yet not one pane in the library's glass north wall broke. The building later earned the Book-of-the-Month Club award for the best small library in Florida in 1963.
