Happy National Library Week, Friends!
April 6th through April 12th is National Library Week. This is a week to celebration your local public library and the librarians that work hard to provide community services & access to information.
We’re running a fundraiser through April 20th…
We’ll be selling t-shirts and canvas bags that are RRPL branded with a portion of proceeds going to The Friends of the Round Rock Public Library to support RRPL programs and facilities needs.
Round Rock Public Library Merch is available here!
