The Port Tampa City Library is an historic building in Tampa, Florida. Located at 4902 W. Commerce St., it is a neighborhood branch in the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System.〔Port Tampa City Library. (n.d.). Retrieved February 6, 2015, from Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative website: http://www.hcplc.org/hcplc/locations/ptm/〕 The original library building, located at 8611 Interbay Boulevard, was staffed and operated by volunteers from the Woman's Club and Civic Association of Port Tampa City from 1951 until 1961, when Port Tampa City was annexed by the City of Tampa. The Tampa library system took over the library in 1962.〔The history of the Port Tampa City Library. (n.d.). In South Tampa Magazine.

Commerce Street was opened in 1926, and was the location for the First Bank of Port Tampa. It closed after the stock market crash of 1929. In the years to come it would house a grocery store, a health clinic, a flight school, and a boutique.〔Poltilove, J. (2012, January 11). "History road show makes stop at Port Tampa City Library." ''Tampa Tribune'', p. B13.〕 In 1993 the Women's Club began a funding drive to save the old bank building, which had been vacant for many years, after members noticed a demolition notice attached to it. By 1994 the building was made a landmark, and the Club eventually raised $5,000 to help save it. That money was given to the Friends of the Port Tampa City Library. In 1998 the 5,700-square-foot building reopened as the Port Tampa City Library, with a grand opening ceremony on June 14, 1998 — Flag Day — and the centennial of the embarkation from Port Tampa for Cuba bound troops in the Spanish–American War.〔Samuels, M. H. (2004, March 4). "Pages preserve Port Tampa's history." ''Tampa Tribune'', p. B1.〕
