Arthenia L. Joyner University Area Community Library

The Arthenia L. Joyner University Area Community Library is a collaboration between Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library and the School District of Hillsborough County. The 15,000 square foot building serves as a partnership library with Muller Elementary Magnet School. A portion of the library serves as the school's Media Center during school hours and is available to the public during after-school library hours.

In addition to its collection of popular materials for customers of all ages, the library offers a variety of meeting spaces, computers, state-of-the-art technology and instruction, early literacy and family events, and job seeking resources and assistance.

The Arthenia L. Joyner University Area Community Library is enhanced by a porcelain and glass tile mosaic, BRIGHT SPOT/You Must be Present to Win, set into the gray tile floor of the library entrance. The smaller, repeated bullseyes represent individual community members’ goals, while the encompassing concentric circles represent the library and its resources encouraging the community to achieve them. The color palette works harmoniously with the interior library design.
