The Seminole Heights Branch Library is a member of the Tampa–Hillsborough County Public Library System.

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. The library moved to its current location at the corner of Osbourne and Central Avenue in 1965 and is situated close to Hillsborough High School and Memorial Middle School. 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. Its decor and architecture was completed in an American Craftsman style, echoing the popular style found in many homes in the surrounding community. The new building houses a donation bookstore, meeting spaces, as well as a children's library collection along with the main collection.
