The Fort Worth Central Library is closing its doors permanently on Friday.
Library officials said they are looking for new space to lease in downtown Fort Worth.Since the attack that took down many city systems in early May, librarians had to check out books, DVDs and other material by hand.
The future location needs to be large enough for all the books, public computers, and programs the library offers. "We know there is a strong desire to have a downtown Fort Worth Public Library, and our plan is to provide a library in a more usable and accessible package," said interim Library Director Marilyn Marvin. "There will be some downtime as the space is reconfigured to provide the best library experience possible.
Approved by both chambers, the bill is now on its way to the governor. Unless he vetoes it, the bill will become law, which means book vendors will have to assign ratings to books based on depictions or references to sex.The Northside Branch Library on Park Street will be the closest to the downtown area.
