    Gatesville Library was quiet and I have my little corner I like to sit when I arrive. I'm there at least two hours each visit.

    Amazing...simply awesome! Been wanting to visit for quite some time and only now was able to do…read moreso. After walking around for about half an hour, I was informed about a tour starting at 10 a.m. Of course I couldn't pass that up. Rachel, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Her passion for the library and the Brownings showed through the information she gave. Lots of positive energy! In addition to the collection and ambiance/architecture of the library, the grounds are worth checking out. I will have to come visit again in order to really soak in all that the place has to offer. Please don't wait as long as I have to visit.

    "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." OK-I'm not…read morereally going to count the ways I love the library, but I figured most people would recognize that quote. It's not Shakespeare; it's Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This library/museum includes a wide array of artwork, personal effects, and manuscripts by Robert Browning and his wife Elizabeth. If you're a scholar of Victorian poetry, researching here would be a dream come true. Even if you're not a fan of Victorian poetry, the Armstrong Browning Library is worth a visit. The beautiful building, which frequently hosts weddings and special events, contains the largest collection of secular stained glass in the world. You might also enjoy the unique and fascinating architectural details throughout the interior of the building. If pottery or porcelain is your thing, check out the Wedgwood and pottery collections, too. Upstairs, the curators have recreated the Browning's home, complete with their authentic furniture and decor. If you ever wondered about life in the mid-1800s, this could give you a pretty accurate picture of it. Admission is free, so check this place out next time you're in the heart of Texas!

    Came here for an event on the fifth "May the Sith be with…read moreyou" We had a lot of fun and were thankful that the Library did this. There were a lot of kids out and they had a blast interacting with those who came in Star Wars cosplay. The vibe was safe and fun, and the children learned to wield lightsabers (along with learning a little discipline too!). There were food and snacks, and other cool activities. This was a great experience. The Library staff was polite and very helpful and the facilities were clean and organized. Thank you for hosting this event!

    The place looks brand new and always smells good. However don't be deceived by the size, they share…read morethe building with the activities center and a good chunk of the library is dedicated to children. I've found that they have a small Non-Fiction section, not much on American History, about one book on Wine, and nothing on Law. But by the looks of things they're really catering to the local community, I'm just used to extensive departments since I'm a book worm. They have several computers and each time I've gone I haven't had to wait. They have one printer that charges 10 cents a page (exact change only). You cannot renew material online which limits you to calling during business hours or going in person to the front desk. You can also only renew once. Another downside is that there is no drop box outside the library, not even in the lobby of the building.
