Temple Terrace Library

I enjoy this library and the staff. They do a great job. It is in our neighborhood. The selection could improve but they do a lot with what they have. I also enjoy the book nook.

Nice staff, loud, busy library with a picked over collection. Oddly enough, one of the most disorganized libraries in the Hillsborough system I’ve been to. It should and could be nicer. I suspect it’s somewhat overwhelmed by the users in the area.

I absolutely love this library. It’s great for my kids as they have a kids only section off to the side away from the adults. They also have activities for children’s of all ages, and everyone who works here is very helpful and kind.

Not a fan of this place. Never seems to have anything you want and the staff is not helpful. If you need to go to the library go to one of the others.

The is perhaps the best library I have visited in a long time. Besides the computers, it is easy to locate books, music and DVDs to check out, and there is enough parking spaces available to accommodate the large crowds that I am sure visit on a regular basis.

The Temple Terrace Library is ALWAYS kicking! Either that or I have the unfortunate timing to always come in when the locals decide it’s computer time! On most days, all 30-​ish computers (including for kids) are taken– is this a conspiracy?– and study tables as well. (I said MOST… I’ve always found a place to sit my cute fanny down)
Although small, this library has all the essentials and I’ve always found books I need (around 20+ aisles plus a whole kids room). They kinda suck in the DVD department… awwww, what if I don’t feel like reading the book? Plus there’s a mini room to buy used books for a heavy discount.
The staff is very helpful… but they always seem sooooo distracted. I bow down to the many times I bug them to find the books I placed on hold– they look distracted… but oh so helpful
