The Dr. P. Phillips Foundation has partnered with the Orange County Library System (OCLS) to provide area residents with access to the library system’s resources through The Southwest Branch. The library building, owned by the Foundation, was leased to OCLS in 1987 and opened in February 1989.


The Dr. Phillips Community Room, located within the library building, is available free of charge for use by nonprofit groups and organizations within the geographical area of the Dr. Phillips community, subject to the rules and regulations. (Refer to application packet.) The room is equipped with a kitchen area including a sink and countertop space, but no refrigerator. There are tables and chairs, a television with VCR and a presentation screen (organizations are responsible for providing projectors). Set-up and breakdown is the responsibility of the organization, not the library staff. Damage or cleanup charges, if warranted, will be billed to the responsible group or organization.

Location:                 7255 Della Drive, Orlando, FL 32819
Capacity:                 Room contains approximately 1800 square feet
Available Hours:      Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
                               Friday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
                               (subject to change by the Orange County Library System)

The room is scheduled for six months in advance, so get your request in early. The calendar opens up the first work day of October to accept applications for January through June and the first work day of May to accept applications for July through December.
