The Book-a-Librarian service is an opportunity for patrons with Rockwall County Library cards (in good standing) to receive individual, focused assistance from a professional librarian in a scheduled 30-minute appointment. Assistance with computer skills, reading suggestions, downloading e-books and e-audiobooks, and resume building are just a few examples of how we can help. Please fill out the form completely, and a librarian will contact you to schedule an appointment. Appointments are limited to two sessions per month per person. 

Note: We are unable to offer advice (e.g, medical, legal, tax or business) beyond sources of information. We cannot assist with financial transactions, type or proofread your documents, troubleshoot or assist with maintenance of personal electronics (e.g, computers, eReaders, tablets).
