      <image:caption>A more recent capital project funded by the penny is the $3.8 million conversion of the old Wells Fargo Bank building into the Bellview Library. Opened in September 2022, it became the eighth branch in the West Florida Public Libraries system and the first public library in both the Bellview community and Escambia County's District 1, expanding services in a fast-growing part of the county.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Impact - The Penny’s Investment in Thoughtful Capital Improvements - CENTURY LIBRARY</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2007 the Century Library opened after the town of Century’s former police station was transformed into a modern 3,000-square-foot library with L.O.S.T. revenues. Nearly two decades later, the Century Library remains a testament to the long-term value of investing in community infrastructure. It continues to serve as an example of how thoughtful capital improvements and repurposing existing structures create benefits for residents that extend well beyond the original project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Impact - The Penny’s Investment in Thoughtful Capital Improvements - MOLINO LIBRARY</image:title>
      <image:caption>In October 2012, Escambia County completed the Molino Community Center and Library, revitalizing the historic 1939 Molino School. Funded by L.O.S.T. revenues, the project transformed the site into a 16,000-square-foot community hub with a library, auditorium, museum, and meeting space. By restoring and repurposing a historic structure, Escambia County preserved a landmark while creating a vibrant community asset.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of the first notable capital projects funded by L.O.S.T. was the $7.7 million renovation of the Downtown Pensacola Library main branch in 2013. Of that total construction cost, more than $6 million was funded by L.O.S.T. revenues. The renovation added 25,000 square feet to the existing library building, creating a modern 51,000 square foot facility.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Impact - The Penny’s Investment in Thoughtful Capital Improvements - SOUTHWEST LIBRARY</image:title>
      <image:caption>After Hurricane Ivan severely damaged the small Southwest Library in 2004, L.O.S.T. funds were made available to lease a much larger 8,000 square foot branch building that has become a popular gathering space for southwest residents. L.O.S.T. revenues provided $107,988 for Southwest Branch Library's new furniture, shelving, and installation, which allowed the library to open fully equipped to serve the community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>L.O.S.T. revenues were used in 2008 to fund the relocation and construction of the Lucia M. Tryon Branch Library to its current location on Langley Avenue. First opened in 2009, the new facility expanded the branch’s ability to serve a growing community and created improved space for residents to access resources, participate in programs, and receive support.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2014, L.O.S.T. funding also supported the development of the Theophalis May Neighborhood Resource Center. Combining recreation, education, technology, and library services under one roof, the $3 million center created a cost-effective model that provides an indoor gymnasium and auditorium, classrooms, expanded computer and internet access, kitchen facilities, and a neighborhood library branch.</image:caption>
