University Park Public Library

The University Park Public Library is an independent public library owned and run by the Friends of the Library for the Park Cities. We opened our doors to the public on June 7, 2001 for four hours a week with all donated materials. Since that time, we currently have expanded our open hours to 45 per week, and the library has been transformed. Standard library shelving replaced bricks and boards shelves full of books and boxes on the floor. We bought computers to supply Internet service and an online catalog of our holdings.
