The Alafaya Book Club's June selection is "Young Jane Young" by Gabrielle Zevin. When congressional intern Aviva makes a life-changing mistake with her boss, she becomes a public mockery and finds no other way out than to change her name and move across the country. But when she decides to run for public office, she fears her daughter will find out about her past. Told in varying voices, "Young Jane Young" addresses the double standards women face in public and private lives.

The Alafaya Branch has a long history of providing library services to the East Orange County community. The branch originally opened in 1965 as the Azalea Park branch, situated on Lake Barton Road. From the 1970s through the 1990s the branch provided library services from shopping center locations. Ground was broken in January 1999 for a new branch, designed to be the prototype branch for future Orange County Library System branches. Opened on February 1, 2000, the Alafaya branch was funded by a Florida Library Construction Grant.
