The Jan Kaminis Platt Library is the 22nd branch in the County's library system. Located near the intersection of Manhattan and Euclid Avenues, the 25,000 square-foot building is open seven days a week to serve the South Tampa community. It offers a full range of library services including the Talking Book Library and a new innovation, a drive-through window for pick-up of materials.

The library was named in honor of Jan Kaminis Platt, who has served tirelessly in the community for 24 years as a Hillsborough County Commissioner.

Among her many interests, Jan K. Platt is a fervent advocate for libraries and the environment. She is the recipient of many awards, including Best Friend of the Year from the Friends of the Library, and the 2000 Liberty Bell Award from the Hillsborough County Bar Association. She serves on the Hillsborough County Arts Council Board and initiated the important Tampa Bay Estuary Program to protect the County's environment.
