Bloomingdale Regional Public Library

The Bloomingdale Regional Library was originally designed to lessen patron usage at the Brandon Regional Library, which was the busiest library in the Hillsborough County System, at the beginning of the 21st century. In the early stages of development, the Bloomingdale library was often referred to as the South Brandon Library because it was expected to serve people in the FishHawk, Bloomingdale, Valrico, and Lithia areas. Though there were several discussed sites for the creation of the library, the Hillsborough County Commissioners narrowed down their selection to two locations. One of the locations was across the street from Lithia Springs Elementary School on Lithia Pinecrest Road, while the other locality was next to Bloomingdale High School on Bloomingdale Avenue.〔Hathaway, Ivan J. (2001, March 31). Crowd debates best location for new library. Community Focus: Brandon, p. 1. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15391coll2/id/5452/rec/52〕 Though there were concerns regarding possible traffic congestion on Bloomingdale Avenue, the Commissioners ultimately decided to accept the latter option.〔Hathaway, Ivan J. (2001, July 22). Library site ideas focus of meeting. The Tampa Tribune, p. 1 and 3. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15391coll2/id/2697/rec/12〕 This site was attractive for cost-saving reasons, as a member of the McLean family, offered to discount the acreage with an additional free acre.〔White, D'Ann, (2003, May 7). Plans for new public library under way. The Tampa Tribune. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15391coll2/id/2795/rec/14).〕
Proposed blue prints for the library allowed for 15,000 square-feet with the possibility of adding an additional 10,000 at a later date. The space included a 3,770 square-foot reading room, a 1,150 square-foot children's room, and a 940 square-foot community collaboration room. Additional space was dedicated to meeting rooms and reading areas. With a holding of 53,000 books upon its day of opening, as well as the purchasing of thirty-five internet-accessible computers and the inclusion of free WI-fi, the Bloomingdale Library totaled in cost of 4.5 million dollars.〔Frazier, Laura. (2005, February 2). Bloomingdale library gets stocked, wired, ready to open, The Tampa Tribune, p. 3A. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15391coll2/id/2792/rec/7〕 The library had a soft opening on February 7, 2005 and it officially started service on February 10.〔White, D'Ann. (2005, February 16). Check it out: New library opens. The Brandon News, p. 1A, 26A-27A. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15391coll2/id/2708/rec/6〕
Within a few months of opening, the Bloomingdale Library became a new home for the Greater Brandon Genealogy Society. The library specifically dedicated a genealogical research room with five computers that were directly linked to the John F. Germany's genealogical websites. In return for the genealogical center, the Greater Brandon Genealogy society offered to provide free tutoring for anyone interested in uncovering his or her family background. The genealogical center at Bloomingdale was the second in the county, with the John F. Germany acting as the only other center at the time of the former's creation.〔White, D'Ann. (2005, May 4). Greater Brandon Genealogy Society finds new home. The Brandon News and Brandon Shopper, p. 6B and 9B. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15391coll2/id/2749/rec/9〕
The Bloomingdale Library was expanded by an additional 10,000 square-feet in 2013, thereby making it a regional library. This additional space was geared towards creating a larger children's room, community rooms, seating for studying, a larger Friends of the Library Book Store, and more area for technology and teen activities.〔Hillsborough County Communications. Press release for the Bloomingdale Public Library's expansion project, 2013. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15391coll2/id/5323/rec/53.〕 A new vending cafe for patrons was also part of the 2.1 million dollar expansion.〔Hammett, Yvette C. (2012, December 12). Local libraries get more space to read, park. The Tampa Tribune. p. 10 and 12. Retrieved from http://cdm16054.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15391coll2/id/5423/rec/41〕 In the year before the expansion, the library circulated over 660,000 books and other multimedia. The library also took advantage of federal funding to purchase an electric charging station for electric cars.
