The next Library History Roadshow will be...
The Brandon Regional Library
619 Vonderburg Drive,
Brandon, FL 33511
Saturday, September 15th
10:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m.
Library service in the community began in 1960 when the Brandon Women's Club opened a corner of its club building (above), at 129 North Moon Street, to house the 1,000 "Brandon Area Library" books.
In 1968, the Brandon Branch Library, operated by the Tampa Public Library System, opened at 135 West Robertson Street (right). An expansion to that facility was completed in 1975 but the need for a larger building became apparent as the community continued to grow.
The library opened at its current 25,000 sq. ft. location, on Vonderburg Dr (below), on March 10, 1991 with a new name -- Brandon Regional Library -- one of the original two regional libraries in the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System.
Do you have a memory, photographs or memorabilia from the Brandon library to share? If so, please come bring them to the Brandon Regional Library history Roadshow so that they can go down in history!
