History

The Seminole Heights Branch Library is one of twenty-seven county libraries in Hillsborough County, Florida. Founded in 1927, the Seminole Heights Branch library was one of the original seven public libraries that existed in the City of Tampa.[2] The library moved to its current location at the corner of Osbourne and Central Avenues in 1965 and is situated close to Hillsborough High School and Memorial Middle School.[3] Closed briefly in the summer of 2003 for renovations and AC repair, the old building was closed in 2012 before being completely torn down. A two-story, 22,000 square foot building was built at the same location and the new Seminole Heights library was officially dedicated on March 17, 2014.[4] Its decor and architecture was completed in an American Craftsman style, echoing the popular style found in many homes in the surrounding community.[5]
