The Fort Worth Public Library has opened its newest location inside the Rise Community Center at 8201 Calmont Ave.
The Rise Library offers free Wi-Fi and numerous materials to check out including books, movies and hotspots. Additionally, the library has a 450-square-foot computer lab to offer much-needed classes and programming for the neighborhood.
“The Fort Worth Public Library provides safe gathering places for the community and works hard to create a community of learners, dreamers and doers,” said Library Director Manya Shorr. “The Rise Library will be a continuation of the good work we started in the Cambridge Court Library, and we are thrilled to add a computer lab to our slate of resources. I am hopeful that our partnership with LVTRise in Las Vegas Trail will become a model for future library locations across Fort Worth.”
In addition to offering convenient curbside service, the location will be open Tuesdays-Fridays from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm and Saturdays from noon to 5 pm. While library locations continue to observe pandemic precautions, patrons will be required to observe occupancy limitations, temperature checks and screening questions.
The Las Vegas Trail Revitalization Project, known as LVTRise, is a collaboration and partnership of private companies, human service organizations and government agencies dedicated to helping residents of the Las Vegas Trail area improve their neighborhood and day-to-day lives.
