Altamonte Library Reopens Debate | Orlando News

Altamonte Springs is once again eyeing the closure of its beloved library — a move that’s reigniting community tension after a 2024 tax hike saved it from shuttering. City Manager Frank Martz argues operating costs are unsustainable, but promises a “digital-first” future with e-books, audiobooks, and targeted in-person programs at Westmonte Park. Parents like Sarah Kress mourn the loss of the cozy, neighborhood hub, while residents brace for another public hearing on September 3rd to decide the library’s fate.
