The Winton Branch Library’s service area is bounded on the north and east by the city line, on the south by University Avenue and on the west by Culver Road. There is a Reading Garden in the back of the library property, with a meandering path and bench seating. Winton’s collection reflects a wide spectrum of needs and interests.
