Colleges and universities Pinellas County is home several institutions of higher learning, including Eckerd College, the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, the multi-campus St. Petersburg College, the Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, and the main campus of Schiller International University in Largo, after previously being located in Dunedin. Libraries The Pinellas Public Library Cooperative (PPLC) serves county residents by coordinating activities, funding and information and facilitating borrowing across 15 of its constituent systems within the county. Individual libraries are primarily funded and operated by their municipalities. PPLC provides digital resources, coordinated marketing, courier service between libraries, and a shared online publicly accessible catalog. The PPLC was created in 1989 to provide access to unincorporated areas of Pinellas County and to municipalities that do not have library services. In March of that year, county residents voted to pay an extra tax to allow them to use city libraries throughout the county. The exceptions to this were the cities of Clearwater, South Pasadena, Kenneth City, Indian Rocks, and Indian Shores, who would have to pay a $100 non-member fee to use the PPLC libraries. Clearwater and others have since joined the cooperative. Librarian Bernadette Storck was hired as the cooperative administrator. Storck was retiring from thirty years working in the Tampa-Hillsborough library System. The cooperative opened on Monday, October 1, 1990 with twelve participating libraries across the county. The Pinellas Public Library Cooperative's vision is "to connect communities." The 14 independent library systems that make up the cooperative are as follows: Clearwater Public Library System Dunedin Public Library East Lake Community Library Gulf Beaches Public Library Gulfport Public Library Largo Public Library Oldsmar Public Library Palm Harbor Library Barbara S. Ponce Public Library Safety Harbor Public Library St. Petersburg Library System St. Pete Beach Public Library Seminole Community Library Tarpon Springs Public Library Due to community partnerships, PPLC offers free admission to the following museums: Museum of Fine Arts, Florida Holocaust Museum, Great Explorations Children's Museum, Henry B. Plant Museum, Imagine Museum, Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, Dunedin History Museum, and the Tampa Bay History Center. However, the partnership is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. The PPLC also offers the Talking Book Library and Deaf Literacy Center as a way to provide library services for whom conventional print is a barrier due to
