Coral Gables Branch Library
The library is supported by the City of Coral Gables, and by 1949 had over 27,000 volumes on its shelves. During the mid 1950s the library contained 35,000 volumes and 5,000 pamphlets. Thus, the Woman's Club, working together with the city of Coral Gables, steered the library to be operated by the city because it was becoming too big a responsibility for the club. The city accepted the proposal and officially, in July, 1954, the Coral Gables Library became a municipally operated library.
