Libraries
Libraries in Hillsborough County offer community rooms of various sizes for use. There is a form to fill out to request this space, which Kim Pham has. If you are interested in using one of these rooms and are not familiar with the process, email tampafreeskool@gmail.com and we will help you determine what location is best and walk through the process of acquiring the space for use.
For evening classes, The Jimmie B. Keel closes at 9pm from Monday through Wednesday and at 8pm on Thursday. If you need to hold a class later or on a different day, the Andrew Blythe Library is available.
Residences
If you ask prior and don’t need an excessive amount of space, Charlei’s carport is available. As long as you don’t absolutely require indoor amenities for the duration of the class period (for times when she isn’t home), this is a great spot to hold outdoor or semi-messy classes. Email chetelatc@gmail.com to get permission and see if the class will work in this spot)
Kim has a big yard and carport that is available for outdoor and semi-messy classes as well. Email kim@thetealounge.com for permission.
Local Businesses
Kaleisia Tea Lounge is available for classes on most days and nights. Please contact kim@thetealounge.com to reserve your space.
Cafe Hey is friends with Tampa Free Skool and if you’re interested in using their space, please contact cafehey@gmail.com.
I also have conference room space available for after 5 and on weekends at my office. I am on South Howard. email me @ dmitchellrep@gmail.com if needed
