And the room we met in was the James B. Johnson Community Room, "Jim" Johnson is Leadership Hillsborough's longest-serving graduate recently honored for 25 years of dedicated service to our organization and to the South County community - contributions that continued long after his own class year ended. Convening to shape the future of LH inside a space named in his honor was a fitting reminder of what his work is really about: not a credential earned once, but a commitment sustained over decades. #LeadershipHillsborough#LeadershipDevelopment#BoardLeadership

The toys were a little run down/dirty but honestly that's to be expected when dealing with children. My cousin and I picked up some library cards as we didn't have any, it was our first time there! The library is very nice and clean, and there is so much it offers! We want to come back for future events that they hold!

I LOVE this library! My son is homeschooling, so we decided to get a library card for him. I saw…read morethat this location had a "children's room" which is perfect for sitting down and reading to your kids, studying the globes, using the computers they provide for educational programs and so much more, without having to worry about your kids being "too loud." We went to this location just for him, and enjoyed the entire visit! My son and I felt really safe because there was a deputy stationed at the entrance right when you walk in. We will be trying to visit once a week now that we've discovered this location! We would love to see more hands on educational material, (like the globes) because we don't own things like that at home, and it gave us an opportunity to learn about the different continents in 3D instead of flat on a map! Lastly, they had little free craft envelopes and we were able to grab one on our way out, which I thought was AWESOME! My son really enjoyed making his butterfly!

I needed to go rent a book on thrifting and this library had it so I had to make my way on over…read more Parking is a little weird, I'll have to say. Our phone took us the back way to get to the library so we parked thinking we were at an entrance but it was just a side door so I blame that on my phone. Once we entered, it was very quiet and they had computers to access their catalog and using it was a breeze. Even finding the book was easy! I was in and out within 5 minutes. Self check-out was about the fastest I have ever experienced for a library and I was VERY impressed. We passed by a couple of staff and none seemed too friendly but we got what we needed and left so that wasn't a big deal. They even had a quiet room where you're in closed quarters and can be in peace which we thought was cool. I will be back for sure!

This is a wonderful public library located on Lake Morton. It shares it's parking lot with the Polk…read moreCounty Art Museum, so it can be hard to find a parking space, but be patient, take your time, and you will find one. Getting here is a bit convoluted, but GPS works well navigating the old neighborhoods. The library is also located at a bus stop that is well used. This particular library branch has both a poor reputation and ratings, mainly due to the homeless, but I have never seen any while here - and I've spent a lot of time here since moving to Lakeland. This library is incredibly clean, including the bathrooms. The librarians who work here have been very polite and helpful. They have a fantastic inter-library loan system, like larger cities, so I've not had a problem acquiring books. The system is quite quick. They not only loan books, but dvds and music cds as well and have a large display of them inside. They have a large shelf in the front selling discarded books. They have a large section for children, down a beautiful mural covered hallway. I have not checked that out, but from the proliferation of young families coming here, it's quite popular. There are also conference rooms, and from following them on Facebook, they have a lot going on here. It's easy for me to spend time at this library. The coffee house, Black & Brew, has a satellite cafe here and the library has a gorgeous rose garden all around it.
