Midlothian Public Library

A huge thank you to the Manna House Outreach for organizing such a great Resource Expo yesterday for local families they get ready for a new school year! 🎒

Did you know you can get a free library card even if you don’t live in Midlothian?
If your child attends Midlothian ISD (or if you’re a Midlothian ISD teacher or staff member) you may qualify!

Your library card gives you access to books, eBooks, digital resources, special collections, research tools, and even interlibrary loan!

To sign up, just bring proof of Midlothian ISD enrollment or employment and a valid photo ID. One card is available per household and can be renewed each year as long as you continue to qualify.
