Library Expenses

Library expenses are based on the city’s collaboration with the City of Fort Worth Library
System. This reimbursement program allows Westworth Village citizens to obtain a nonresident
library card from the City of Fort Worth library system and submit the receipt for a credit to be
applied on their utility invoice, or a check to be issued to those without utility accounts. This
collaboration also grants the Fort Worth Library access to the community room to plan events
and activities.

In FY2026 we added a Tool Library, that contains household tools for citizens to check out
and return. At the time this budget was published the details of the concept were still being
finalized by the city council. Ongoing costs will be minimal to maintain, repair, or replace
damaged, lost, or stolen items.
