Every month, the Southlake Library features new, eye-catching book displays. Some months, the displays highlight specific celebrations, such as Hispanic Heritage Month or Black History Month. Other months, library staff create exhibits designed to intrigue readers and introduce them to something new.
Past displays have included themes like "Graphic Novels: Yes, They Are Still Reading," showcasing the growing popularity of graphic novels, and "Star Wars," where fans could find their next adventure with the Force. This month, visitors will encounter a nautical-themed display, complete with tiny paper boat hats on the spines of books. Other displays feature film adaptations of books, allowing readers to explore stories in both book and movie formats.
We spoke with several staff members to learn more about their creative process behind these displays.
“As a member of the youth team, I'm always thinking about what will appeal to our younger library patrons. I aim to create collections that will pique their interest with fun signs and enhancements while presenting engaging topics that hopefully expose them to new knowledge,” said Library Assistant Alinn.
“When creating a new display for the library, we always make sure to work in teams so we can bounce ideas off each other. It is important for us to create something unique, eye-catching, and hopefully something that introduces our visitors to new topics. We try to find themes that fit the season and go all out on decorations to make it pop,” said Library Assistant Spencer.
Library staff actively engage with the community to discover what interest's local readers and to draw in those who may be unfamiliar with certain genres or formats. Whether highlighting a specific area of the library or offering a unique reading experience, these displays aim to ignite a love of reading in everyone who walks through the door.
If you haven't already, stop by the Southlake Library to check out this month's displays—and be sure to explore all the exciting reading possibilities they offer.
Southlake’s annual Sweetheart Dance last Sunday, February 1, was a magical evening filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories! Families, friends, and loved ones came together to celebrate Valentine’s season with a night of dancing, sweet treats, and cherished moments.
The event space was transformed into a dreamy Valentine’s wonderland, decorated with twinkling lights, heart-shaped décor, and, of course, plenty of sweetheart candies to go around. Guests arrived dressed to impress, ready to dance the night away with their special someone—whether that was a parent, child, grandparent, or best friend.
One of the highlights of the night was the dance floor, where guests of all ages showed off their best moves to a mix of classic and upbeat tunes. Families laughed and twirled together, creating memories to last a lifetime.
Throughout the evening, attendees took advantage of the photo moments set up around the venue. Whether it was a fun candid shot or a posed picture with a loved one, these snapshots captured the joy and excitement of the night.
The Sweetheart Dance continues to be a favorite annual tradition in Southlake, bringing the community together to celebrate love in all its forms. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success!

Southlake’s newest recreational facility has quickly made a name for itself among pickleball enthusiasts, earning recognition for its world-class design. Since opening in February, the Southlake Pickleball Complex has been buzzing with activity, and now it has another reason to celebrate! The facility has been awarded the prestigious TRAPS North Recreation Facility Design Excellence Award.
The Texas Recreation and Parks Society (TRAPS) North Region is a nonprofit organization that has supported the advancement of parks, recreation, and leisure services in Texas for over 75 years. When the Southlake Pickleball Complex opened its doors, we knew it had to be a contender for this award. The Design Excellence Award highlights projects with outstanding professional design, encourages high levels of recreational use, and fosters collaboration between design and parks professionals. The Southlake Pickleball Complex is a testament to Southlake’s commitment to meeting community needs, achieving excellence, and encouraging teamwork.
This state-of-the-art, championship-level facility welcomes players of all skill levels, offering eight shaded courts, a Championship Court with stadium seating, a Pro Shop, and plenty of seating areas. Since opening, the staff has introduced innovative programming, such as Intro to Pickleball, custom drills, and community league opportunities, enriching the experience for members and guests.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this achievement! City staff will officially accept the award at the TRAPS North Region Conference in Denton on November 4, 2024.

The Programs Team wrapped up its annual Club Metro Camp earlier in August, which is a part of the Adapted Recreation program named Club Metro. For those unfamiliar, Club Metro is designed to provide enriching experiences for adults and teenagers with special needs. Club Metro Camp consists of three one-week sessions in June, July, and August.
Club Metro Camp offers diverse environments where participants can socialize and explore new experiences alongside their friends. The camp fosters an atmosphere of acceptance and support, ensuring that every individual has the tools they need to engage in activities tailored to their abilities. With a focus on inclusivity and personal growth, Club Metro Camp provides a welcoming space for everyone. The activities these Campers participated in were games, crafts, sports, and STEM activities.
One of the Camp’s highlights is its field trips, which offer campers opportunities for learning and enjoyment. The field trips are designed to provide educational experiences that go beyond the Camp. For example, at the Best Maid Pickle Emporium, campers learned more about pickle-making and sampled a variety of pickle flavors ranging from sweet to spicy. This field trip was an educational adventure everyone enjoyed.
Some other field trips the campers took part in were the Frontiers of Flight Museum, Evo, Tornado Terry’s, Medieval Times, Meow Wolf, Sea Life Aquarium, the Southlake Library, and more.
Out of these exciting educational field trips, there were a few fan favorites. Kailey Elrod said, “I liked the library because I read Harry Potter and the Dork Diaries.” Another camper, Greg Podjan, mentioned: “The flight museum was really cool because of all the planes.”
Overall, the camp was a success this past summer, and Club Metro Camp 2025 planning is well underway for some new fun and exciting activities! We can’t wait to see you next year!
