To recognize the library’s importance in the community, Tulsa City-County Library presents “Unlimited Possibilities @ Your Library,” during National Library Week, April 12-18.
This weeklong celebration highlights ways libraries can benefit all citizens. Tulsa City-County Library features more than 1.5-million items to choose from. Enjoy books for children, tweens, teens and adults. Customers also can enjoy Wi-Fi, computers, copiers, printers, fax service and business databases. Ask a librarian about meeting rooms, study areas and other gathering places for individuals, small groups and larger events for non-profits. Library cards are free to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Tulsa County.
Each month families and individuals can choose from free educational and entertaining programming ranging from book reviews and storytimes to music performances and game nights.
