The Jimmie B Keel Regional Library held its dedication ceremony 25 years ago today!

Library service in the Northdale and Carrollwood areas originally began at the Northwest Branch Library in the 1980s before being renamed to the Northwest Regional Library in the 1990s.

The building now known as the Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library was a gift from the Winn-Dixie Foundation and opened at a new location as a 25,000 sq. ft. library in 2001. A 10,000 sq. ft. expansion opened in 2014.

The branch was named after Assistant County Administrator Jimmie B. Keel in recognition of his 35 years of passionate, caring service to Hillsborough County.
