This library is one of our weekly stops throughout summer. We we partake in their summer camp series for kids and live stocking up on new reads. We have even been surprised with a popsicle truck that gave us a tasty summer treat. I highly recommend the Lake Travis Community Library.

Five stars to all the staff at our sweet little library but a special thank you to Ms Sarah and Sue…read morewho are so patient with my kids always asking for 101 books each visit. Sue has been a staple since my first son was going to weekly Storytime's and Ms Karen is always smiling and so positive at the book mobile. Great selection of kids books and they usually have a craft to do. Would love to see a few more kids activities that could pull in the community more but I believe that Covid had caused that to slow.

This was our first time at the Laura Bush Community Library. There's a great play area outside for…read moretoddlers that's shaded with fake turf. Inside, there were lots of senior ladies playing American mahjong. My girlfriend and I were able to vote at this location. I had forgotten my son's water bottle at home. Thankfully, the library offered free cups, a lid, and coffee straw that I filled from the water fountain.

This the best small library in the Austin regional area. It is located a hill part of Austin where…read moreyou can sit outside and see for miles. There is a nice collection of books and they always keep it updated with new titles. The staff is very friendly and will need to be able to live in the Westbank library district to check out books. There is always activities for the little ones from story time to outdoor festivities. They have a big room to rent out and you can feel very safe visiting here. With amazing views and lots of books to explore you will not be disappointed.

We decided to randomly visit other branches of Austin Public Libraries we haven't been too. This is…read morea former theater where some of Dazed and Confused was filmed. While the staff at the 2 locations we have been too have friendly staff this staff was a different level. So friendly and talkative. It is a smaller place but they make good use of it. Glad we got here, we checked out a few books and bought a few. We had a good time.

A small neighborhood library with plenty of parking spaces. There were sufficient tables and…read morechairs. However, I didn't see any private rooms. The interior has nicely decorated celling and walls. Howere it was a little depressing because there were no windows for sunlight. Bathrooms were clean. My main purpose for the visit was to read some magazines that I don't subscribe to. The magazine inventory was lacking. There were about three magazines on the rack with Texas Monthly being the only worthy one to read. I was disappointed not to see any National magazines. Maybe there was a budget cut. DVDs, music CDs, and books for adults and children were well stocked and with great varieties. Overall, this is a good library.

I can't say enough good things about Paul Quinzi, at the Travis County Law Library, who walked me…read morethrough my entire legal process from the very beginning, to a successful completion. From the very first time I contacted Paul, I was completely overwhelmed, confused, and with zero idea where to start--he greeted me with genuine patience and warmth. He didn't just point me to a form or a book and send me on my way. Instead, he told me what he needed from me and set up the entire expungement paper to sign and file and my non disclosure paperwork as well. He explained everything in plain English, answered every single question I had--no matter how basic or repetitive--and carefully guided me step by step through the paperwork, filings, and procedures. His communication was outstanding: clear, responsive, and always followed up to make sure I understood the next steps. What really stood out, though, was how much he truly cared. He treated my situation with compassion and respect, never making me feel small or foolish for not knowing the system. In a world that can feel cold and bureaucratic, he was a bright light--patient, encouraging, and dedicated to making sure I could successfully represent myself. He is honestly one of those rare people who make the world a better place just by showing up and doing their job with such humanity and excellence. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to complete everything correctly and on time without costly mistakes or unnecessary stress. If you're in Austin and need help navigating the legal self-help resources at the Travis County Law Library, look for this gentleman. You won't find better support anywhere. He deserves all the recognition and gratitude in the world. Thank you again--from the bottom of my heart. You made a real difference in my life.

I've been coming here over the past year to study and use the law books. It's a very quiet library…read moreand a great place to study undisturbed. Some of the books are quite old and you have to be super careful handling them. I've always had really great success when asking the law librarians for assistance. I'm not a fan of where the computers are located, it's a bit cramped and it's not a work station you're really able to spread out at. This law library also hosts free CLE courses once a month. They do have very limited hours of operation though which is difficult to comply with when you have a full time job.

Touchdown, baby! So…read morewhat does the Austin Public Library do with all of the books and records that they don't think they need anymore? They liquidate them at the future location of the Twin Oaks branch, formerly the Post Office. I scored big, as they sold me an entire box of books of my choice for only five dollars. I scored a Norton anthology, a New York Public Library Desk Reference and a whole bunch of other worthwhile books for next to nothing. I actually felt like I was picking up books for free after I'd bagged the first few. Every now and again, they have the Monster Book Sale (watch the library events calendar for that) and the prices are higher then, but they have a lot more to choose from. Otherwise, they offer this outrageous deal on the leftovers. "Keep Austin Reading!"

I was so excited about this book sale- turns out I made a big mistake though. Go early! I went…read moretoo late, and saw lots of other excited people carrying towering piles of excellent books they were about to purchase on the crazy cheap. At least they got some good ones!

Fast forward to 2020, and I need…read moreto do legal research: the pandemic has caused the closure of government buildings, but I didn't despair, because this library has online services. The online law library has access to databases that you may not get free on your own. These resources opened doors for my research and inspired my creativity! Visiting the physical library requires me to take a couple of buses, but who knows, after the pandemic is over, I would like to visit the physical building in its splendor, when the opportunity presents itself. I love law libraries, so I love these resources. This law library didn't knock my socks off yet, but it rocks enough to earn 4 stars!

I'll be back tmr to see if I can get a manager or someone with importance to help cause I've gone 3 times this year and it's the same situation every time and it's exhausting I can't do nothing in America without a social security and they make it hard for us. They say make an appointment and nothing shows even with many zip codes y'all are a joke truly waste of energy and tax money we all pay for y'all to be there. It says I have to be there working 45 days if not something bad can happen as well so yeah a joke I'll get there names here soon also calling online they don't do nothing g but say our wait time is 120 minutes or call back again and they hang up instead of having you wait it's crazy no joke it's stupid

If you wish to see a reflection of the US, stop by a SS office. All sorts of people, attitudes and…read morevibes. Since I needed to provide verification of date of birth to start Medicare, a trip to the office was required. Fortunately, there is a location just 2 miles from us in SW Austin. The facility is large, clean and institutional. Wouldn't expect anything different. The waiting area is large, with lot's of seats. There were clean restrooms and water dispensers. You cannot bring in food/drink, no biggie. Once we arrived, I expected a decent wait time, so brought the spousey to join me and we just enjoyed each other during the wait. When we entered, not really knowing next steps, I went to ask the gentlemen in a uniform for direction behind a counter. I barely got out, Good Afternoon, I was.... well cutoff.. and told, check in at the kiosk as he pointed to the thingy to my left and went back to what was more important than helping me. Look, I feel for these folks who have these jobs. I'm sure they work with a great deal of angst from folks, not getting what they think they deserve from the system and may be the target of their discontent. However, it would be nice if he would of let me finish my statement, perhaps a smile, but not today. Hit up the kiosk, checked in, got a ticket and we sat and watched the monitor for when it was our time. As you are informed, your wait my be longer or shorter then others already in the room. Depends what you are there for. My number was called and we were greeted by a smiling agent, who took it from there. He eliminated my fears that I may have been a little late to apply, took my identification, including my Dutch birth certificate, passport and TDL to make copies. Came back, let me know I was all set and would be receiving stuff in the mail. Polite, efficient and pleasant interaction. I believe we may have been waiting 25mins. It was pretty quick IMO. We headed out and I made a point to walk out by the counter, smiled really big at the same gentlemen and thanked the dude and wished him a good afternoon. This blew him away by the look on his face, he managed a smile and wished me the same. Kill them with kindness is always a moto for me. For reference, I was there on a Friday a little after noon. Job Done..
