The Hillcrest High School Library was recently featured on NBC DFW after book checkouts tripled following the implementation of a cellphone ban.

Congratulations to Library Media Specialist Nina Canales at Hillcrest High School for helping create a library space where students are reconnecting with reading. Moments like this remind us that when distractions are removed, books naturally return to the center of student curiosity, learning, and discovery.

Inquiry and innovation continue to shape the learning experiences happening inside our Dallas ISD libraries.

By promoting digital literacy, creative thinking, and inquiry-based learning, our librarians help students and staff build the skills needed to explore ideas, engage with emerging technologies, and think beyond the expected.

Library Services is proud to support the work that encourages curiosity, innovation, and meaningful learning opportunities across our schools.

Summer is the perfect time to keep early learners growing through stories, conversation, and daily reading moments together.

Reading to young children helps build language, confidence, imagination, and a lifelong love of learning. Our Dallas ISD libraries are proud to support families with books, digital resources, and learning opportunities that help keep young minds engaged all summer long.
