12 Things You Probably Didn’t Know You Could Borrow at Tampa Libraries

I guess it’s been a while since I last went to the library. To be honest, I think my last visit was in the 80s during the Dewey Decimal and card catalog years. I remember when the internet became a big thing, many went to the library to get online. But it’s a lot more than books you can borrow these days! Here are a dozen random items I found. Check out the full list of items available at hcplc.org.
