Downtown Rowlett

Rowlett Public Library has done it again! For the twentieth year in a row, the library has been honored with the Texas Municipal Library Directors Association’s Achievement of Excellence in Libraries Award. Out of 542 public library systems in Texas, only 102 received this recognition, placing Rowlett Public Library among the top 19 percent of libraries in the state.

Achieving this level of excellence year after year is no easy task. It takes a dedicated team, innovative programs, and a deep commitment to serving the community. From literacy initiatives and digital resources to special events and engaging programs, the library continues to evolve to meet the needs of Rowlett residents.

The library expressed gratitude to its staff, volunteers, and community for their continued support, stating:

“We want to extend a huge thank you to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and our wonderful community for your continued support. This achievement would not be possible without you. We are honored to serve you.”

For two decades, City of Rowlett Public Library has been a pillar of excellence in Downtown Rowlett, and this milestone is a testament to their impact. Whether you stop by to check out a book, attend a program, or explore their resources, you are experiencing firsthand what makes this library an award winning institution. Congratulations to Rowlett Public Library on twenty years of excellence!
