We plan to re-open June 1 with limited services and hours (closed Saturdays). If you visit the library, please wear a mask, keep children within arm’s reach, maintain a 6 foot distance from others, and limit your visit to 30 minutes or less. Public computers, meeting spaces and soft seating are temporarily unavailable.
Fines will be waived for materials that are out during the closure. You may return items to the drive-through book drop at any time or keep them until the end of June.
You may also email rocklib@rockwallcountytexas.com to request that up to 5 items be pulled for you to pick up at the drive-thru when staff are available. Please include your library card number. A staff member will let you know when the items are ready or to let you know that they are unavailable.
We encourage you to stay home as much as possible, relax, and enjoy the Rockwall County Library’s digital resources. We have plenty of ebooks and audiobooks to download for free to keep you and your family entertained. Choose from thousands of ebooks and audiobooks using Overdrive or RBdigital – and download directly to your mobile device, tablet or computer! To get started, go to the "Databases & Downloads" page under the “Resources” option on the left menu of the library web page. You can also visit your app store to download the free OverDrive or RBdigital apps. If you do not have a current library card in good standing, anyone can download from Gutenberg.org.
The best way to avoid spreading germs is to stay home when you can and to wash hands with soap and water frequently for at least 20 seconds.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Everyday preventative measures:
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as much as possible.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Clean and disinfect mobile devices (check with the manufacturer on the correct way to clean your phone, tablet or other devices).
- The virus may be able to live for over 72 hours on hard surfaces, so be especially cautious in what you touch and in cleaning hands frequently.
