There’s nothing like finding that perfect spot to get lost in a good book. With several cozy nooks around Lakeland, we’re rounding up a few places to curl up with your latest read.

Pressed Books & Coffee , 213 E. Bay St. | This bookstore/coffee shop combo is full of plush chairs + couches for when you want to stay awhile. Pro tip: Stop by during Silent Book Club on the third Wednesday of each month to meet fellow bibliophiles.

Bonnet Springs Park , 400 Bonnet Springs Blvd. | BYOB (bring your own blanket) along with your book to the Allen & Company Lawn to bask in both words and sunshine.

Lakeland Public Library , 100 Lake Morton Dr. | Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and leather chairs overlooking Lake Morton, LPL’s main room is perfect for when you want some peace + quiet. Plus, you can say hello to Lakeland’s iconic swans while you’re there.
