Tyler shares news on library, parking meters

TYLER — The City of Tyler has issued updated information on Tyler Public Library and downtown parking. In-person programming at the library has been on hiatus since March 2020 due to COVID-19. But with the rising number of vaccinations and reduction in cases, the library has decided to reopen meeting spaces for public use. Interested parties can complete an online form. Also, Tyler Transit and the Tyler Public Library have partnered to promote the Summer Reading Program. During the months of June, July and August, all students under 18 can ride Tyler Public Transportation System’s fixed routes free of charge when traveling to and from the Tyler Public Library. Students will need to notify the driver to receive the free ride. All students 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Guardians accompanying children must pay $1 for a one-way trip or $2 for an all-day pass. The Tyler Public Library offers free Library cards to all residents inside Tyler city limits and to all Tyler ISD students.

Meantime, the Main Street Department installed the second and final phase of upgraded meters with Park Smarter capability within the downtown area. The updated meters have more payment options for customers. You can click here and scroll down to “Tyler News” for more information.
