The Port Tampa City Library, a neighborhood branch in the Tampa-Hillsborough County Library System, has a proud heritage. The library was one of the first projects undertaken by the Port Tampa City Woman's Club, who operated the library from 1951 to 1961. The Tampa Library System assumed responsibility for the operation of the branch in 1961. The merger of the city and county libraries in 1984 put the Port Tampa City Library under the county aegis where it has remained.
Tampa's only Maritime Reading Room is available to the public on the second floor of the Port Tampa City Library. The collection features maritime artifacts, books and more. Special guest lectures are held throughout the year.
