About us: The Oak Lawn Library Friends (OLLF) was formed in 1995 to help provide supplemental funding in support of the Oak Lawn Library, a branch of the Dallas Public Library. We work closely with library staff to support the extras (programs, art shows and other amenities that make our branch special).
