Come one, come all to Dallas Public Library's Liberty & Lace Ball! Step into Revolutionary-era America for an evening of dance classes, bouquet & fan making, Hamilton karaoke, hip-hop remixes, food, drinks, and local vendors.

When you need a break from the festivities, grab a bite to eat, enjoy a drink or visit some of the guest vendors. There will even be a prize drawing for tickets to "Hamilton" and "Suffs", courtesy of Performing Arts Fort Worth.

This event is in-person only! Please register for a reminder email and to help our friends at the library plan! History is for everyone, so come out and celebrate!

Help us spread the word for our friends at Park Forest Library Friends! They’re hosting a Summer Bookmark Contest open to kids and teens of all ages (4–7, 8–12, and 13+). Winning designs get printed and distributed! How cool is that? Entries are due July 23rd. Visit parkforestlibraryfriends.org/events/ to enter! 📚✏️

We want to wish a very big congratulations to our very own Board Chair, Nicole Paquette, for making Modern Luxury's Dallas' 2026 Power List! Way to go, Nicole! ❤️📚
