Fort Worth Library, Public library in downtown Fort Worth, United States.
Fort Worth Library is a public library system in downtown Fort Worth with multiple locations serving the community. The main branch houses reading areas, study spaces, computer facilities, and collections covering diverse subjects for residents of all ages.
The library was established to provide reading materials and access to knowledge for the community. Over time it grew into a multi-branch system and continues to add digital and specialized resources to serve changing needs.
The system's name recalls Jennie Scott Scheuber, who hosted the 1892 meeting of 20 women that started the library and later served as head librarian until Harry Peterson replaced her in 1938. The Genealogy, Local History and Archives unit at Central Library also holds the official municipal archives of Fort Worth.
Visitors can search collections at computer stations or browse online using the library's catalog system. Meeting rooms are available for groups or individual study, and membership is free for residents with proper identification.
The collection includes specialized genealogy archives and local history materials that allow researchers to explore family records and documents. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone tracing ancestors or studying the region's historical sources.
