This same programming was repeated in the summers of 1998 and 1999. In the fall of 1999, the public library began to staff the media center after school hours year round, expanding the traditional summer programming. Access to the North Tampa Branch Library or the Seminole Heights Branch Library is difficult, at best. The creation of this partnership, with grant money provided through a Linking Libraries and Communities Grant, provides the community with access to many resources commonly found in a branch library within Hillsborough County. Customers can search THOR, the library catalog, to place holds on materials at other County library branches and pick them up at Egypt Lake.
Internet access is provided free.
THOR Junior computers have resources for children including Wonder Web and SIRS Discoverer. In September 2000, the school media center and the public library presence moved from a portable classroom to a new 5000 square foot facility facing Lambright Street, near Egypt Lake Elementary School. Although the public library presence is not available during school hours to the general public, professional staff are available after school, into the evenings and on Saturdays to assist customers with the informational researching and recreational reading needs.
