“The recreational and educational opportunities in Farmers Branch have really kept me active. I joined the Community Recreation Center on day one and all of our facilities are top-notch but all have that hometown, family-friendly ambiance. Farmers Branch truly feeds the mind, body and soul.”

– Tom Laney, Farmers Branch resident

*Teachers: Help Us Help Your Students! There is an easy way to notify library staff about upcoming assignments and projects when students require the use of library materials. With at least a two-week notice, library staff can compile materials available for topics that have a limited amount of resources, display a class project, compile a reading list or schedule a class visit. Contact the Youth Services librarian at 972-247-2511.
