The Science Library at MOSI is designed primarily to meet the needs of Hillsborough County's citizens to have a core sciences collection. It is the result of a unique partnership between the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System and the Museum of Science and Industry. Teachers, students, homeschoolers, hobbyists and science enthusiasts of all ages can find science, math, computing information and science fiction in a variety of formats. Internet access is available via Netscape for public use. Informative videos are shelved throughout the library right alongside books organized by topic, so that customers may easily choose materials in appropriate media.
Space is available to house temporary displays presented by local science clubs.
Special collections include Science Fiction , Science Fair Projects and Educator's Resources . The library offers a variety of programs for families and educators as well. Future expansion plans include increasing the library's holdings of adult materials and creating a Women in Science collection.
