Washington Park Branch

Washington Park - Children's Area

Up and coming artist Angie Vazquez will discuss the origins, inspiration and importance of her portrait series "Faces of Freedom and Equality" which depicts key figures in human rights advocacy.

Angie Vazquez's "Faces of Freedom and Equality" exhibition is on display at the Washington Park Branch throughout June and July.

Angela "Angie" Vazquez was born in Nevis, West Indies. She is an up-and-coming artist currently living in Orlando and works as a computer professional. Angie always had an interest and desire to create art and pursued online art classes to expand her artistic abilities because she was unable to afford formal education and training in art. She was asked to join the Evolve Artist painting program and has been enrolled since 2018.

About the branch

LYNX Bus Link 21 Carver Shores
LYNX Bus LInk 302 Downtown Disney Direct

The Washington Park Branch serves the Carver Shores and Metrowest areas, along with the many other subdivisions and local businesses surrounding it. The Washington Park branch has a history that dates back to 1924. It is a combination of the former Booker T. Washington and Washington Shores Libraries. The two branches combined as one and opened in this current location on April 11, 1984. Although small, the glass walls on the front and back of the building create a bright, airy and comfortable atmosphere.
