They also have a summer calendar of daily activities like Lego and snack bar and gaming. There are gaming areas with twenty minute check-in sessions and 3D printers, embroidery machines and more. Parents and children can engage in all types of activities. Training videos are online and available for users to view at home and librarians are very helpful with patrons who might need assistance. Definitely should be on the list for summer fun.

We lived visiting the Midlothian Library recently. Lots of parking available.

There is a fun Lego table for the toddlers to play with and a room for different children programs. Looks like city hall was connected to the same building. Very nice new building. Go take advantage of this free resource!

I've become much more of a library regular since having a kiddo, and now I find myself here even…read moremore without my kid... haha! I work from home so anyplace with a cozy seat and free wifi is a good place for me. This library is multi-level with plenty of seating. Computers, printers, resources, tons of community programs and classes. They provide shelter in extreme weather. They provide food for hungry families. I recently learned they have a retro technology lab, so I'm interested in digitizing some old home videos. Being able to do something like that for free is an amazing privilege. Libraries are so important in our communities. Education, support, shelter, resources for all, and especially for those who need it. Support your local library!

I need copies and was in the uta area googled and found this this hidden gem . Wow when I tell you…read morethis is a beautiful library I can't begin to describe the articulate design of this library.

I give this place a 100. staff very nice and helpful. I could go on and on .

Today was a special day for the library, as it celebrates 50 years. A lot of people were dressed…read morein clothing from the 70s era and it was lovely to see community events like this. This library is located right across from Dallas City hall, so it's very centrally located. This library is really big, with 8 floors in all. It's one of the largest libraries in the nation. The staff were incredibly informative and helpful in sharing what was interesting about the library with us. They gave us a self guided tour pamphlet which shows the specialty of each floor. Impressively, they have a Genealogy Research department on the 8th floor, "bringing the past in the present with powerful research tools and digitization services"and a large collection handwoven Navajo blankets on the first floor. The 7th floor displayed Shakespeare's First Folio (1963) in a glass case. "Shakespeare's great plays were rescued from obscurity to be published in the 1623 First Folio" On the same floor, there is the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776.). You can see one of only 25 surviving copies. "The first time that the name "United States of America" appeared in print". Overall, it was lovely to see a library bringing the community together and being inclusive of all people who visit. They also conveniently have free underground parking. Definitely worth a visit, to see the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) and Shakespeare's First Folio 1623 on the 7th floor.

I was honestly shocked by the condition of this library. Unfortunately, the facility felt far more…read morelike a homeless shelter than a public library. There were people bathing in the restrooms, dogs throughout the building, and an overall atmosphere that felt chaotic and poorly maintained. For a major city like Dallas, I would expect a public library to be a place residents can feel proud of and comfortable visiting. Instead, the experience was disappointing and surprising in all the wrong ways.

I came in to get a library card and ask about how to request my book as a local author. Instead of…read morefully guiding me through the acquisition process or taking my info, the staff member suggested I "just donate" a copy that could end up in the book sale room. As a self-published author, I pay for every copy out of pocket. Being told to lose money for a chance at visibility felt icky! Local creators deserve better support and understanding from public institutions.

The exterior is modern and funky with eco-friendly xeriscape landscaping and a huge (ha-yuge!) parking lot. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. It's bright, warm, friendly, and inviting, everything the old branch wasn't. They even saved part of the old YMCA building and worked it into the new design. Thrifty! I still absolutely love having the ability to set up an online queue and have a nonstop reading list at my disposal. No more driving all over Dallas, hitting whatever branch happens to have the book I want. And the only way the pickup could be easier is if someone delivered the books to my house. You go to the bookshelf that holds all the requests and grab your books, then you either check out at the front desk or...wait for it...you use one of the two self-check kiosks! I can be in and out in less than 2 minutes. (TWHS!) There are meeting rooms, quiet study rooms, and I hear there's a theater even though I haven't seen it myself. There are at least 20 computers and a ton of desks and chairs scattered throughout the entire building. There are also numerous electrical outlets if you need to plug in a laptop. The after-hours book drop was a little hard to find at first, but I finally figured out it's on the back side of the building (facing Marchant Circle). You can now drop books off without even getting out of your car. I've always been a huge supporter of libraries and I couldn't be happier with how my tax dollars were spent on this branch.
