The West Florida Public Library system is administered by the [[West Florida Public Library Board]], which is made up of nine members, of which three each are appointed by the [[Pensacola City Council]] and the [[Escambia County Commission]]. The current director of the library system is [[Gene FisherTodd Humble]].

Overdue visual materials and CD-ROM resources collect a fine of one dollar ($1.0020) per day per item. Unpaid fines exceeding $3.00 will prevent a patron from borrowing materials until paid.
All materials borrowed from the Library can be returned to any library branch, regardless of the branch from which they were borrowed.
