Library staff have made great strives in updating and maintaining the library. You might notice our big evergreen trees out front are gone, (Due to the overall health of the trees, we had to take them down). When you step inside, you may notice that our children’s room is brightly painted and has NEW graphics on the walls. We are so excited to bring updated features to your library and can’t wait for you to see!

We just launched a NEW program for Local Artists and hope you check it out here: https://tysonlibrary.org/local-artist-showcase-now-accepting-applications/
