The library is also a great place for people of all ages to unwind and recharge. Libraries can be a powerful resource to support mental health. Hillsborough County Public Libraries provide space and resources for people to develop new skills and hobbies, build community, or find quiet moments by reading a book or relaxing in a quiet environment.
