Directions: To find the
library, exit I-30 on Hwy 205 (also known as Goliad). If you are coming from
Dallas, turn left. If you are coming from Greenville, turn right. Drive to the
first traffic light and turn right on Yellowjacket Lane. The library will be on
your right. Parking is free.
Lunch If you spend the day with us, you can bring a sandwich but you can not eat in the meeting room. The library has a small vending area and if the weather is pretty, there is a balcony upstairs. Rockwall has nice parks and you might get a glimpse of some water.
There are lovely, local restaurants near the library and we will provide you with a list of them.
