Tomorrow evening: Public event in Town of Lantana exploring Seminole Indian history.

The item below was published in last week’s Lake Worth Herald from the listings on page 2 announcing club meetings and other events of LOCAL interest in Lake Worth Beach, suburban Lake Worth, Town of Lantana, and other nearby municipalities.

About this event open to the public:

The public is invited to the March 28, 7 p.m. meeting of the Friends of the Lantana Public Library, [emphasis added] located at 205 West Ocean Avenue (next to the U.S. Post Office). The presenter is Carol Hansen. She will speak about the history of the Seminole Indians and show a portion of her extensive collection of authentic hand-made articles. Meeting takes place in the library.


Directions to the Lantana Public Library from Lake Worth Beach: Take Dixie Hwy. south past Lantana Rd. and turn right on W. Ocean Ave. Over the FEC railroad tracks the library will be on your right. There is parking along N. 3rd St and the library parking lot is off 3rd St. as well.

Please note the Lantana Public Library
is in the Town of Lantana.

The Lantana Road Branch Library at 4020 Lantana Rd. is part of the County library system in unincorporated Palm Beach County across from the City of Atlantis.

The Lantana Public Library calls itself,
“A place for serious readers”.

And the staff is truly remarkable. Recommend everyone stop by and take a look around. Click on this link for more information including the hours or call 561-540-5740.

It was an event at the Lantana Public Library in March 2017 that the Cottages of Lake Worth received a huge boost in publicity. The public from all over Palm Beach County was in attendance, a packed house that night. Following that event another “Cottages” presentation was then scheduled in Boynton Beach, Briny Breezes, Delray Beach, Palm Beach and at many other venues.

In other words, small town public libraries are still very significant and they do matter.
