The City of Jacksonville will host a tour of one of its cooling centers Monday morning.

Yelp enthusiasts, mark your calendars for the most anticipated event of the year! The High Stakes Soiree, hosted by Yelp, is set to dazzle attendees at The Conference Center, nestled within the heart of downtown Jacksonville at the Main Library.

The City of Jacksonville hosted an event for children ages 5-12 and their families at the Main Library in honor of “Celebrate Reading Week.”

The Jacksonville Public Library had its beginnings when May Moore and Florence Murphy started the “Jacksonville Library and Literary Association” in 1878 was made up by various prominent Jacksonville residents and sought to create a free public library and reading room for the city.

The Jacksonville Public Library has reopened the Main Library downtown after closing all branches due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Main Library is open from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. from Monday through Saturday. The Jacksonville Public Library said modifications and precautions are in place for health and safety, including:All customers and staff must submit to a touchless temperature check, complete a COVID-19 screening form and wear a mask at all times in the library. The first and second floors will be open. Its unclear when other library branches will be opening.

The private meeting was held in a public facility, the Jacksonville Public Library's Main Library downtown, but the local media was not allowed in -- not even into a lobby area outside the conference center. The area off of Main Street outside the meeting rooms and a library entrance used to be public. This is not funded by taxpayers' dollars, said Chris Boivin of the Jacksonville Public Library. News4Jax waited outside the library until the JEA meeting ended. "It was a private meeting with JEA employees," said JEA spokeswoman Gina Kyle, who was at that meeting.
