Lyonia Environmental Center,
part of the
library complex, encourages exploration
of Volusia County’s ecosystems and fosters
community involvement in conservation efforts.
Staff provides hands-on field and classroom
and environmental experiences. The center includes
the Dr. Alice E. Cross Environmental Classrooms, an exhibit gallery, a
visiting scientist’s workroom, and a coffee and
gift shop.
The 1,000-seat outdoor Deltona Amphitheater,
adjacent to the library, offers a place for
community gatherings and educational
instruction. The
Deltona
City Commission contributed $2 million toward the library
expansion project and will pay $250,000 a year
for 10 years to help with maintenance and
operating costs.
