Frequently Asked Questions

I'm an editor for HLISD but my library is no longer listed

If your library record has not been updated in the last 2 years, it may no longer show in the directory or in search results.

You can re-activate your library listing by editing the record or marking it as up to date. If you need assistance, please contact support@hlisd.org.

I can’t find the library I’m looking for through any of the search methods?

If new entries are required, email us at support@HLISD.org and these will added to the database. We will, however, need you to nominate an editor to keep it up to date.
