Hillsborough County is decking the halls of its libraries with free events this December, and the community is invited to indulge in the holiday festivities. According to a release from the county's newsroom, residents can expect a plethora of programs catered for all ages. These events, a fraction of what the libraries are hosting, range from educational sessions to engaging entertainment, all at no cost.
The holiday schedule includes special seasonal hours. For instance, libraries will observe Christmas Day closures and vary their opening times during Christmas Week. On December 24th, while all locations conclude services at 6 p.m., the Bruton Memorial Library deviates with its closure. Conversely, on December 26th, it's the Bruton Memorial Library which opens from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., alongside Temple Terrace Public Library until 6 p.m.
Community members can find more details about the events and library hours under the "Events & Classes" tab on the Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative's website. Interested individuals are welcome to engage further by liking the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System on Facebook and following their updates on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. These digital platforms offer an avenue to stay connected with the library system's offerings and announcements throughout the festive season.
While these programs are set to bring together the spirit of the community, the county clarifies that the views expressed within are solely of the presenters. "The views expressed in these programs are those of the presenters and do not necessarily reflect the official policies, positions, or opinions of Hillsborough County, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Libraries, or the Friends of the Library of Tampa-Hillsborough County, Inc., which do not endorse the presenters," states the original announcement. To inquire further, patrons may call (813) 273-3652 for more elaborate information regarding the library's holiday programming.
