BRPL in the News: Spanish River Library as a Special Event Venue...or Film Location!
The Spanish River Library's growing reputation as a wonderful venue for weddings and other events was featured in December issue of Gold Coast magazine, the November issue of the Parklander magazine, and a July article in the Sun Sentinel. View the Sun Sentinel article, and a YouTube video about the Spanish River Library. In the December issue of Focus on Film, the Location Spotlight section features SRL and states that "...the most impressive feature is the sprawling lakeside terrace which could lend itself to a big social scene for a television show or feature film."
