Jacksonville Public Libraries are the official public library system of Jacksonville, holding a collection of more than three million items for visitor circulation. The system began in 1878 as the Jacksonville Library and Literary Association and services the city of Jacksonville today, along with neighboring Duval, Baker, Clay, Nassau, and St. John's Counties. Visitors can explore the system's new Main Library building, which opened to the public in 2005 and houses public exhibits within the Jax Makerspace Gallery, including the Jacksonville: A Tale of My City photography history and retrospective permanent exhibit. Maker supplies and studio space are also offered at the public Jax Makerspace, which is available for hands-on self-directed crafting and technology work.
