    South Tampa

    I took my grand kids to this library because it is convenient to the south Tampa area. There is…read moreample parking and it is in a secure area. I thought the security was visible from the metal detection at the entrance to the sheriff officer by the desk. Once inside, the children area is located just to the right. It was very clean and an employee was consistently reshelving books that the kids took off the shelf to look at. There are two computers in the children's area to explore learning activities. The seating/furniture was okay but not super kid friendly. I would have liked to see some bean bag chairs or a carpeted area for a casual relaxed reading. It was not crowded at all just after the lunch hour and it was a good time for all of us.

    After waiting years for the renovations at Charles J. Fendig public library to finish I am so…read moredisappointed with the finished results. The children's area is almost nonexistent and the lack of parking is still an issue. This location is the most convenient to my house, but I would rather drive further to the Jan Platt library because there is plenty of parking, a larger selection of books, and there is an incredible children's section that is walled off so you don't have to worry about young children disturbing the peace at the library. This is one of the smallest libraries in Tampa so chances are that they won't carry the book(s) that you're looking for.

    This is the University of Tampa's library. It has a military history section. The library is a bit…read moremusty. There doesn't seem to be a Florida history section and the library collection is mostly college course related. Fortunately the Public Library is just across the river and interlibrary loans are possible for students seeking access to a wider selection of offerings. I was surprised that there weren't computers to search the collection. Apparently you have to ask at the reference desk. The library is a bit musty but comfortable.

    UT has once again kicked up their game! This library was pretty average when I was a student but…read morenow it's seems ahead of the game compared to other libraries I've recently visited. There are many new upgrades all around campus. I've noticed some new features specifically in the library. There's now phone charging stations throughout the library, as well as various seating areas. For instance there's high top desks, regular cubicles, couches, comfy chairs with built in desks, and spacious tables for group meet ups. There's also more private open tables for study groups. The library is well lit. I love that there are a lot of windows, bringing in natural light in addition to the overhead lights. For the most part it is quiet (besides the guy who's currently eating chips and clearing his throat In between bites!). I used to always notice it smelled pretty bad a few years ago but I wasn't hit in the face with any odor today. So that's good. The bathrooms have been updated with tile flooring and walls. No more stalls with paint from the nineties! Sometimes it's easy to get lost in time when there are no windows. I wish they had a snack bar here but then again, I think the smell of food and the sound of eating could be highly distracting. There's no real security when you walk in. So that's always been on my list of negatives. The only security feature is sadly not for you, me, or anyone in here. It's for the books. So don't try stealing an encyclopedia. Another downside is the lack of parking close to the library. I think there may be two spots (one is for handicapped individuals). Overall, I think UT offers a very innovative atmosphere for its students to succeed and feel comfortable while studying. Enjoy! Xo
