The library has re-opened with limited services and hours. Meeting spaces and soft seating are temporarily unavailable. Some public computers are available with extra limitations. We will be closed Saturdays during this phase of re-opening. 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. No story times or other in-person programs are scheduled at this time.
You may return items to the drive-through book drop at any time.
Unable to come inside? Click here to request that up to 5 items be pulled for you to pick up at the drive-thru window when staff are available. Please include your library card number. A staff member will let you know when the items are ready or 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 thousands of ebooks and audiobooks to download for free to keep you and your family entertained, as well as access to a new Magazine and Comics collection from RBdigital. Choose from a variety of ebooks and audiobooks for all ages using Overdrive or RBdigital – and download directly to your mobile device, tablet or computer!

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. If you are exhibiting any symptoms of illness, please wait until you are well to visit out of consideration for others in the community.
