The purpose of this IR is to inform City Council about a change of public hours coming to the Central Library. On
Tuesday January 31, 2023 the Central Library will move from being open 7 days per week to 5.The library will be
open Tuesdays-Saturdays 10am-6pm. Reduction of hours is part of the Fort Worth Public Library's drawdown of
service in anticipation of closure.
Property Management continues to explore spaces in the downtown for a library presence and the size of the new
location will determine the programs and services offered.The library welcomes suggestions for locations.
As closure planning continues, the Fort Worth Public Library will bring more information to City Council. Community
engagement has begun, as well. For those interested in the fundraising bricks,we ask that they fill out this form:
