East Dallas Advocate columnist Patti Vinson recently shared her love for the public services offered by the nearly thirty Dallas Public Library branches.
She highlighted the e-books, notary services, DVD catalogs and programs that many library locations offer, and the North Oak Cliff Branch Library in Oak Cliff is no different.
Here are five programs the North Oak Cliff library is offering neighbors this month.
