The Lifelong Learning Institute is adult education department of the Winter Park Public Library. Although the Library has always provided learning programs for adults, it wasn't until 2002 that we institutionalized our educational philosophy. Our philosophy is to provide meaningful, high quality learning opportunities in a relaxed, non-threatening environment.

The Winter Park Health Foundation has been instrumental in making the Institute possible through their financial support.
