We have one outreach van and two kinds of outreach team members!
After the ILOV is outfitted there will be less room for activities inside the van, but so many more possibilities for taking ILOV out in Irving to meet all of you!
Stay tuned for the results!

Staff member Gabi S. made sure to stop by Big Tex at the State Fair and tell him all about the library. Once the fair is over, maybe he’ll two-step on over to the library and read some tales as big as Texas! They’re free to browse, too! #irvinglibrary
