About

Learn. Engage. Enrich.

Our community deserves an extraordinary library. It is a place where our children, teens, and adults find opportunities to connect with people and information in a beautiful, comfortable space. We don’t stop there. Outreach takes our programs and services outside the building.

The Pottsboro Area Library is the crossroads of the community. It is a new creative space that is more than you expect. Our library is a community asset that belongs to you.
