Located
in southwest Dallas, near the intersection of Interstate 30 and
Loop 12, the Arcadia Park Branch Library is one of the city's
newest and largest branches. Opened in 2005, it is the first
co-location facility with the Dallas Independent School District
(DISD) in the city of Dallas. The library serves the students
and the supporting DISD staff as a school library and residents
of the Arcadia Park community as a public library.
The thoughtful architectural design of the building
highlighting the beauty of the natural surroundings has garnered
praise from professional architectural circles. Sculptor Eliseo
S. García designed the architectural frieze at the entrance of
the building, which includes a family standing under a tree of
learning, a representation of family life as the root of
learning, support, and eventual success. A beautiful rainbow
glass window about the seating area enhances the children's
storytime area. The building has been awarded Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification as a
high performance green building.
The Arcadia Park Branch features regular storytimes for
children, Dallas After-School Homework Help (DASH), wireless
Internet access, ESL and computer classes for adults, and
various educational programs throughout the year.
