The Lewisville Public Library is rolling out a rich roster of community activities for residents of all ages, offering services from tax preparation to gardening and local grant workshops. For individuals earning up to $64,000 a year, the United Way of Denton County is pitching in to provide free tax help on Thursdays from 4-6:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. through April 13, according to the City of Lewisville, Texas. No appointments are necessary for these sessions, but those needing aid are advised to check the website to know exactly which documents to carry along.
Meanwhile, the AARP also offering up its tax assistance program, but for these Monday sessions, running through April 15 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., an appointment is required. To avoid disappointment, note that services are limited and restrictions like the non-inclusion of complex returns such as those with rental properties must be considered. You'll find the Tax-Aide volunteers stationed eagerly at the Crawford Meeting Room, ready to untangle those tax woes.
For those with a green thumb, or trying to develop one, the library is inviting the public to a Plant & Seed Swap happening Saturday, Feb. 17, from 10:30 a.m. to noon. This community exchange is sans registration, and gardeners are encouraged "to bring those extra seeds or plants to swap," as they mingle with kindred spirits and maybe even leave with new botanical treasures. Keep it clean though, as all plants must be pest-free.
Kids aren't left out of the fun with the library’s first-ever "kid-created scavenger hunt" slated for Monday, Feb. 19, from 3-4 p.m. While it's free to participate, tickets are to be handed out 30 minutes prior on a first-come, first-served basis. Tween-aged architects of adventure are set to quickly devise clues and challenges around the Bennett Program Room, preparing to surprise their peers with a hunt of their crafting.
Check out the Neighborhood Grant Workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 20, to learn exactly how to secure funds aimed at boosting the curb appeal and unity of your community. This resource, unburdened by registration requirements, runs from 6:30-7:30 p.m., allowing residents to find out more about the City of Lewisville's various grants for property and neighborhood improvements.
Teens with a penchant for anime can converge at the library's AniMakers club on Thursday, Feb. 22, from 6-7:30 p.m. At this anime enthusiasts’ hub, crafts, fandom, and friendship coincide to create an ambient evening for creative spirits who yearn to physically manifest their anime admiration. Since the activity requires no registration, anyone in the age group can simply drop by The Hive Makerspace to join the fray.
