The event featured a Burgert Brother's photographic exhibit uniquely tailored to showcase North Tampa's history and years of bookmobile service. Additionally, we were honored to host North Tampa native, Commissioner Ken Hagan, who shared anecdotes of growing up and using his neighborhood library.
Several visitors of all ages recorded their memories of the North Tampa Branch Library and members of the Friends of the North Tampa Branch Library helped to identify old photographs for the archive. Visitors and library staff enjoyed refreshments while they recalled memories triggered by the display of Burgert Bros. historic images from the region. View images from the Library History Roadshow event as well as some photos from the library's past:
