The Lewisville Public Library is bustling with activity for residents of all ages, offering a variety of events ranging from tax preparation services to crafting and entertainment. Situated at 1197 W. Main Street, the library is a hub for community engagement, open Monday through Saturday, with closures on Sunday.
With the tax season in full swing, the library is providing crucial support to the community. The United Way of Denton County is offering free tax prep help to individuals with incomes up to $64,000, as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. This service is available every Thursday from 4-6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. through April 13. In a statement obtained by the City of Lewisville, Texas, assistance is on a first-come, first-served basis, and no registration is required. Help is also at hand in Spanish for those in need. In addition, the AARP Tax-Aide program is providing free tax preparation services by appointment only every Monday until April 15, aimed to primarily assist with basic federal income tax returns.
Beyond fiscal responsibilities, the library serves as a backdrop for cultivating creativity and fun for families and individuals. "Crafternoon" is a session scheduled for March 11 from 3-5 p.m., offering a spread of simple crafts and activities suitable for children accompanied by their caregivers. No tickets are required for this come-and-go event.
The library is also catering to the gaming interests of teens aged 13-18, with a gaming event on March 13 from 1-4 p.m. Participants can look forward to playing on the library's Nintendo Switch consoles, and they are also free to bring their own gaming devices and games. This drop-in session requires no prior registration. Furthermore, the space turns into a magical ground for fairy-tale enthusiasts on the same day. At "Fairy Doors," families with children can decorate doors to invite fairy characters into their homes. Required free tickets will be distributed 30 minutes before the 3-4 p.m. program.
The Lewisville Public Library truly transforms into a community theater on March 15, as it hosts a free screening of the live-action "The Little Mermaid" from 2-4:20 p.m. This event is open to all ages, but children under six must be in the caring presence of a caregiver. Free tickets are necessary for this splash of cinematic joy, available in a first-come, first-served fashion before the event.
