Since becoming a regional library, the branch has expanded its shelf space, added a new magazine area and enjoyed the introduction of videocassettes, audio tapes, music on CD-ROM, and many new sophisticated reference sources. In addition, the circulating collection has grown in keeping with the library's new status, and there is a selection of on-line electronic sources. West Gate is a family-oriented facility that provides many educational and recreational programs for adults and children. Programming for children is especially extensive. Programs include toddler story times, preschool story times, after school specials, and a full range of summer activities.
Adult programming provides an in-depth look at a wide range of subjects.
West Gate has an active Friends group that has contributed significantly to the cultural and physical enhancements of the library. The staff of the West Gate Regional Library strives to offer friendly and eager service in any way possible. We are out west in Hillsborough County.
