The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners recognized and commended the Santa Rosa County Library System during a recent county commission meeting for being selected as the Library of the Year Award by the Florida Library Association. Award winners were recognized at the association's 86th annual conference May 8 in Orlando. This award is presented to a Florida library that has demonstrated outstanding service to the community it serves.

The Santa Rosa County Library System was selected for its 2006 transition to a county operated system from the regional system and their significant increases in many library services including a 13 percent increase in circulation and a 21 percent increase in visitors. During this time, staff also launched a volunteer program, opened a new branch, renovated a branch and initiated new outreach programs.
