The Hawthorne Branch of the Alachua County Library District offers children, teens, and families weekly, monthly, and special programs held in the community room. Additionally there is a children’s area and a teen area containing appropriate materials and furniture for the smallest to the tallest patrons.
Other highlights include our plethora of children's programming - check out our story times on Thursday mornings for a real treat - as well as our arts and crafts programs for our adult patrons. We also have a book club out here for those so inclined. We're also famous for our outreach to the community, from our local schools (Shell Elementary and Hawthorne Middle-High School), preschools like Pumpkin Patch and Hawthorne Academy, the Hawthorne Area Resource Center, and Little Orange Creek Nature Park, just to name a few.
