It's Tax Time!

It is Tax Time again, and the Haltom City Public Library is here to help you through it!

Remembering David Bowie and Alan Rickman

The world lost two great British artists this week, David Bowie and Alan Rickman. Bowie was known for constantly re-inventing his image and music style, forever changing modern rock and roll. Alan Rickman was a classically-trained actor and director, but many know him for bringing Severus Snape to life in the Harry Potter movie series.

To learn more about David Bowie, you can read a book about him, see a movie he was in, and of course don't forget to listen to his music.

To see more of Alan Rickman's work, check out a DVD.
