Virrick Park Branch Library

If you know Coconut Grove, you know that the Virrick Park Branch Library is such a hidden gem. It’s right next to the park - easy parking, the playground just steps away, and a good vibe overall.

I’ve spent a lot of time there over the years. I used to take my kids to gymnastics lessons at the gym, and we’d stop by the library after to grab some books. I’ve been to birthday parties there, picnics under the trees, swam in the pool (before it went under renovation), all of it. The librarians always make you feel welcome.

It’s just one of those places that makes Coconut Grove feel like home. So for Give Miami Day, I’m raising money to support Virrick Park Library - to help keep this awesome Grove community spot thriving for everyone who loves it.

If you’ve ever stopped by, brought your kids to the playground, or just love having a friendly neighborhood library, I hope you’ll chip in and show them some love.
