J. Erik Jonsson Central Library
J. Erik Jonsson Central Library is Dallas’s central public library beside City Hall. Public art, changing displays and a self-guided tour make its public floors worth exploring.
A library visit here can be more than a search for books. The self-guided route draws attention to the building’s public spaces, art and changing displays, while the collections show the breadth of a major city library. Its location beside City Hall also makes it easy to compare two civic buildings whose purposes feel very different once inside.
