The Mount Dora Library Association

Our 12 year old bat house has been replaced, thanks to the Florida Bat Conservancy and The Mount Dora Library Association! Although it was abandoned, at one time a healthy and active bat colony lived here in our Nunan Butterfly Garden, and we hope they return. Florida's bats are all insectivores (eating only insects) and up to 350 bats can inhabit a bat house. It may take up to a year for bats to return to our house. Bats can eat up to their weight in bugs each night, including a wide variety of pests such as wasps and mosquitoes.

Please join us to learn about this invaluable resource in our Mt. Dora community.

Happy birthday to us! Adults are invited to please make plans to join us for our quarterly Archives Update this coming Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 2:00pm. Following the update, learn about the history of our library and celebrate with some birthday cake as we mark our 120th year. No registration required. Sponsored by the Mount Dora Historical Society and The Mount Dora Library Association.

We could not have sponsored this new lobby exhibit without your support. Thank you so much!

Save the date! History buffs are in for a treat when local forensic surveyer John Hoechst explains our town's development using maps. Our free program on Sunday, October 12, 2025 at 2:00pm does not require registration and is sponsored by the Mount Dora Historical Society. Many of these maps will be on display in our lobby in October, thanks to The Mount Dora Library Association.
