Love your Library

The Safety Harbor Public Library has currently has over 1000 pages of historic Safety Harbor Herald newspapers with scattered dates ranging from 1925 through 1989 preserved and accessible to the public. The newspapers are preserved and encapsulated in a Mylar sleeves. Grant funding allowed the Library to complete this project.

In 2010, the Library was awarded a grant from the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative to further the project and preserve the Safety Harbor Herald collection. The newspapers were digitized and can be found online via the Library’s website, www.SafetyHarborLibrary.com

Summer 2013, the Library received a donation of additional newspapers from the Safety Harbor Museum and Cultural Center. The Library would like to add these to the digital collection to further preserve the history of Safety Harbor and the surrounding area. This collection is valuable for local historians and anyone interested in the past. This fundraiser will assist in the digitization of the donated newspapers and allow them to be shared online with the world. Estimated cost is $2.00 per sheet, with an estimated total of $5,022. Help us preserve local history by purchasing a t-shirt and showing your love for the Library during Love your Library Month in February.
