History and Development
The William T. Cozby Public Library was established in 1974 as the Coppell Public Library. The library was a volunteer effort opening its doors with 3,000 books. The library was moved to the Coppell Town Center in 1986 and was renamed in honor of William T. Cozby, a past mayor and civic leader in Coppell.
The doors opened at the present location on April 24, 1995 and a major renovation was completed in April 2005. Today, the collection contains more than 100,000 items including books, CDs, videos, DVDs, audio cassettes, and internet workstations. In addition to these items, the library subscribes to more than 170 periodicals and newspapers. Patrons may access the library's online catalog from home.
An old frame home, located at 561 N. Coppell Road, was the original location for the Library, then known as the Coppell Public Library.
