The USF Libraries serve the University of South Florida and its thousands of students every day. The Tampa Library, located on USF’s Tampa campus, has been driving student and faculty success since our doors opened in 1956 – doors that continue to open to offer high-quality research materials and expertise, and secure and comfortable study spaces. USF’s founding president referred to the Library as “the heart of the University,” and we continue to be at the center of a highly engaged university community.
