Community Description

The Brevard County Libraries is made up of sixteen public libraries. Located on Florida's Space Coast, Brevard County is unique geographically being 72 miles long and 25 miles wide at the broadest point. Brevard's geography coupled with limits of public transportation, necessitates that services be provided in as many locations as possible to serve the needs of the county residents.

Brevard is home to the Kennedy Space Center and major space-related industries and employs a highly technical labor force. Brevard County exceeds Florida's averages in the percent of residents with both high school and college educations for adults over 25 years.
