Colleyville’s annual patriotic celebration returns Friday, June 26, to the Colleyville Center. Award winning country artist Joe Nichols is scheduled to headline this year’s event.

The Library’s At-Home Delivery Service to Continue During the COVID-19 pandemic, many City departments took the opportunity to re-evaluate the services offered to our residents. While the library was closed and even though online materials were available, many patrons still preferred access to physical books and the sensory adventure they offer. As a result, the Colleyville Library began offering at-home delivery service in early April. The service has been well received with hundreds of requests and additional delivery days added. We are excited to announce this new service will continue moving forward, even after the Library reopens to the public, and continue to look for ways to serve our citizens. This program is available to Colleyville residents with a current library card. To request items, library patrons can visit the Library’s website, www.colleyvillelibrary.com/catalog/home-delivery-request-form. For questions, please call 817.503.1161 during business hours or email [email protected].
