About Us

Empowering the Center of the Azle Community

Our mission is focused on helping the Azle Memorial Library shine brighter.

The Azle Memorial Library is more than just a collection of wonderful books.

It’s a collective hub of information and connection. Books will forever be the spine of our library, but this space has evolved to become so much more.

The library offers educational programming, fun events, eBooks, audiobooks, movies, and more. But, most importantly, it provides a welcoming locale for people to learn, engage, and connect with each other. Our mission is to help the Azle Library continue to be a meaningful and everlasting part of our community.

A Gift to the Community

The Azle Library would not exist without the donors before us.

It all started with an act of generosity. There was a passionate group of donors who believed in the need for a state of the art library that could enrich and unite the community. They came together to help build and establish the Azle Memorial Library. The heritage oak tree, which currently sits inside the library, includes and pays tribute to the original donors. Everything — from the books and programs to the walls that hold it all together — exists because of the charity of the people. Let’s continue their legacy while leaving one of your own by donating to the wonderful gift that is the Azle Memorial Library.
