Text-a-Librarian - This free service allows you to send questions and comments to your librarians from the convenience of your phone. Send a text and have it go directly to your librarian's email. We will respond to you and it will come back to your phone as a text message. You can ask reference questions, general library questions, request material holds, renew materials, and so much more. Stop by or call the Circulation Desk for details.
Free Wireless Internet is available at the Southlake Public Library, in Town Square, and at Bob Jones Park, Bicentennial Park, and the Southlake Sports Complex.
Money Matters
Personal Finance Series - The Southlake Public Library is proud to offer a year-long series of personal finance seminars presented by Mr. Scott Losack, an Edward Jones financial advisor. The seminars will be held on the first Thursday of each month on the 3rd Floor of Town Hall at 7:00 p.m. During the summer months, the program will be moved to the first Thursday of the month at 10:30 a.m.
Each program stands on its own, so there is no need to attend the entire series to gain value from individual classes. No products will be sold and the classes are informational only.
All Library programs are free of charge and open to the public. Pre-registration is required only when noted.
