The Brandon Regional Library shares a location with Center Place, the heart of Brandon's cultural activities. The co-location and cooperative efforts of the library and Center Place offer the community a unique partnership to foster the marriage and growth of knowledge and culture. This historic relationship benefits the rapidly growing Brandon community.

The history of the Brandon Regional Library formally began in 1960 when the Brandon Women's Club opened a corner of its club building to house the 1,000 books of the "Brandon Area Library." In 1968 the Brandon Branch Library of the Tampa Public Library System opened on Robertson Street. Brandon and the library grew phenomenally.

In 1991 the library opened in a new location as the expanded Brandon Regional Library, a branch of the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System. The Brandon Regional Library provides the highest circulation of any library in the library system. Its collection includes over 144,628 materials including 2,066 videos, 4,013 audio cassettes and music CDs, 22,517 paperbacks, and 115,594 books.

Other sections of the library offer picture books; easy readers; juvenile, young adult, and adult fiction, a large print collection and intershelved adult and juvenile nonfiction.
