With 30 locations across the city, the Dallas Public Library is one of the largest family resources in Dallas — and everything is free. Branches host storytimes for babies and toddlers, bilingual reading hours, homework help, LEGO clubs and teen hangouts every week.
The J. Erik Jonsson Central Library downtown adds big-scale family fun: children’s discovery spaces, maker labs, author visits and the city’s beloved summer of discovery reading challenges that keep kids learning through play.
For Dallas families, the library card is the best bargain in town: books, movies, technology, programs and a cool, welcoming place to learn together in every neighborhood.
