About the branch

LYNX Bus Link 1 N.Orange Ave. / Altamonte Mall
LYNX Bus Link 9 N. Orange Ave. / Rosemont

Eatonville Branch is located in the Town of Eatonville’s Zora Neale Hurston Square. Eatonville is known as the oldest incorporated African American municipality in the United States. Opened January 2005, the branch honors Eatonville resident Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960), an accomplished and highly acclaimed author of stories, novels, and folklore.

Eatonville Branch is dedicated to promoting reading, especially in children. The branch serves residents that make up the four residential quadrants of Eatonville – Calhoun, Catalina Park, Eaton Pointe, and Lake Lovely Estates. The collection, programs, and services are also available to all Orange County residents including residents of the City of Maitland and Winter Park through reciprocal borrowing.
