About the Library

The Wells Branch Community Library District was created by election on August 8, 1998, soon after Texas legislation allowed the establishment of library districts in areas not served by existing library systems. Learn more about the library's history.

The District collects sales tax revenue of 0.5% from local businesses and receives fees from other services. An elected governing board of five trustees manages the funds and operates the library.

Mission Statement

Wells Branch Community Library District is a welcoming and responsive community resource dedicated to delivering equitable access to information, supporting literacy and personal development, and providing enrichment opportunities for everyone.
