City of Round Rock Offers Virtual Programs For All Ages

ROUND ROCK, TX —The City of Round Rock and its departments and facilities including Round Rock Parks and Recreation, the Round Rock Public Library and the Round Rock Sports Center offer a range of virtual programs for all ages amid the Stay Home Stay Safe countywide order.
