The Plant City Woman’s Club founded their volunteer community library in 1927. This project continued until 1959 when the residents of the City voted to fund a public library through their taxes. A small library was built by the City, staff was hired, and the library became a City department. In 1994, the Library was expanded, remodeled, and renamed in honor of Quintilla Geer Bruton and Judge James D. Bruton, Jr. The 20,000-square-foot facility currently houses:
- A collection of approximately 55,000 physical materials
- Over 20 computers and laptops for patron use
Interactive educational toys in the children’s area - The Mary Noel Moody community meeting room
- Several study rooms
- Billy’s Garden Space, a screened-in porch
- The Imagination Garden, a pocket garden located behind the building
