Located in north central Dallas
close to Central Expressway and Northwest Highway,
Skillman Southwestern is at the corner of Skillman
Street and Southwestern
Boulevard. The branch was opened in 1996 and serves
a diverse and densely populated area, including one of the largest apartment
communities in Dallas. The building
features a second-story clerestory and a dramatic glass wall at the rear which
maximizes the feeling of spaciousness and openness.
Skillman Southwestern is the site of the fifth and newest of the Dallas Public
Library's Teen Centers, made possible through the AT&T Excelerator grant
program and the AT&T Foundation. The TeenCenter offers access to 5 laptops,
teen programs, career materials, DVDs, music CDs, fun fiction and homework
support.
