Located
southwest of Downtown Dallas in the heart of old Oak Cliff, the
North Oak Cliff Library was the first branch in the Dallas
Public Library system and has been serving the surrounding
community for almost a century.
Built in 1986, the current branch replaced the original
library that opened in 1914. One of its treasures is the mural
on its front wall by local artist Sixto de la Rosa. The mural
presents a history including Mexican leaders Emiliano Zapata and
Marcos. Martin Luther King, Jr. is shown to link the civil
rights struggles of both Mexican Americans and African
Americans. The branch provides 12 computer workstations and
offers free wireless Internet access. North Oak Cliff has a
large and varied collection, including a Teen Center and a
strong collection of books in Spanish. The branch offers a
variety of community programming, including storytimes for
children, a book discussion group, computer classes, E.S.L.,
G.E.D., citizenship classes, Plaza Comunitaria (adult education
classes), and a Family Literacy program. Here
