Fort Worth Public Library

The Institute of Museums and Library Services was targeted in a recent executive order. Here's how that could affect North Texas libraries.

Just over a year after Fort Worth closed its central library branch, a new permanent downtown library location could be on the horizon.

Communities around Fort Worth may be getting new mini libraries by the end of the year.

On a sunny Friday afternoon, the Summerglen Library branch in north Fort Worth is bustling with patrons doing anything but reading. Some are participating in a weekly Spanish class, others are casting their ballots during early voting and playing games on desktops.

In spite of the 90-degree temps at the beginning of the week, the calendar did not skip to summer. From a plant trade to a powwow, spring events take center stage for the first weekend of March in Arlington and Fort Worth.

Clark was previously the director of library and cultural services for the city of Aurora, Colorado. She oversaw seven public libraries, a bookmobile, two arts centers, a history museum and historic sites, and cultural arts education.

Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker won't reverse her decision on removing the LGBTQ badge from her summer reading program, but a council member offered an alternative Tuesday.

With the sale of the Fort Worth Public Library’s 250,000-square foot Central branch at 500 W. Third St. for $18 million, the city may jump- start another round of development downtown.

City Council members are preparing to approve the sale of the building to Dart Interests LLC, a national real estate investment and development firm, for $18 million. The firm, which describes itself as a “long-term developer and investor,” owns properties in several states, including Florida, South Carolina, New York, California and Texas.
