Reimagining the Dallas Public Library


Beginning January 4, 2027, Dallas Public Library will transition to a Flagship model with the standardized hours below:


A table showing the new hours for the various libraries. The flagship libraries will be open Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m., open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and open Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Neighborhood branches will be closed on Sunday and open Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Central Library will be open Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m., open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bookmarks will be open Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m., closed Monday, and open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Under this new structure, seven branches will operate as “flagships,” providing expanded hours, services and programming. Those branches are Bachman Lake, Fretz Park, Hampton-Illinois, Pleasant Grove, Vickery Park, Lochwood and Highland Hills.
