    The Blue Hole, as modest as it is, should still be a bucket list item for San Antonio dwellers…read more Along with other springs in the Headwaters area, it's the source of the San Antonio river, which has shaped our city and its culture for ages. Logistics. Best times to go are evenings and weekends when it's easier to find parking on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word. Suggestions: park near the Natatorium and cross the river on a footbridge. Or, park near the Student Engagement Center. The path to the Blue Hole takes you past a sand volleyball court. Turn left into a wooded area, and you'll see a low stone wall encircling the spring. Sometimes the spring is dry, and sometimes it is flowing freely. Before you visit, check water level of the Edwards Aquifer. When these pictures were taken, the J-17 well was at 672' and rising. When the spring is flowing, the water surges up through cracks in the limestone and spills out into the muddy, leafy riverbed. Small fish dart around in the water. The spring is a small and humble place compared to the river as it goes through the artsy Museum Reach, the famous Riverwalk, the naturalistic Mission Reach, and beyond. Nevertheless, the Blue Hole has a sacred feeling. There is a bench nearby inscribed with the dictum, "Be still and know."

    I don't consider myself religious by any means, but I always feel a sense of peace when I'm at Blue…read moreHole. Today was the first time in 11 years I've visited it and I was lucky enough to see it teaming with water and tiny little fish nipping at things. Thanks to all the recent rain, the headwaters seem to have awoken and the natural spring began to flow. It looks different from the water in the river in the middle of the campus, looking clearer, cooler, and more inviting to stick your feet in (please don't). In fact, when I graduated, my dad filled an empty plastic water bottle from the spring and to this day it sits on a shelf in their living room. The water is crystal clear and looks drinkable. (again, please don't) The area is kept relatively clean with little to no litter surrounding the wall of the spring or immediate areas of the headwaters. A bench nearby is inscribed with "Be still and know," which wasn't there 11 years ago, but is still a nice touch to sit, ponder, meditate, and reflect. One of the more secluded spots, the sand volleyball court is probably the closest thing you'll catch a glimpse of. It's not too far within the woods where it's scary, but just far enough from the hustle and bustle of campus life.

    If I could give this review zero stars I would!…read more Absolutely Ridiculous - This Is NOT a Library, It's a Playground. If you're looking for a quiet space to actually study, do homework, or get any serious work done--do NOT come to the Molly Pruitt Library. Kids were literally running around like it's recess. Loud talking, playing, laughing like they were at a playground--and not once did I see any of the librarians at the front desk say a word. Just sitting there, completely ignoring the chaos. No structure, no control, no respect for people trying to focus. So I move from the main area to a study room, thinking maybe I can get some peace. These rooms clearly have a sign that says NO CELL PHONES, headphones only, and to keep noise down. Yet two rooms down from me, some guy is on his phone, talking loud like he's in his own living room. Again--no one from staff stepped in. No enforcement, no care. This is supposed to be a public learning environment, not a damn hangout spot. The rules are posted but clearly mean nothing here. Don't call yourself a library if you're not going to create an atmosphere where people can read, study, or think. Absolutely disappointing. Management needs to be made aware. If posted policies aren't going to be enforced, then remove the signs and call it what it is--a public lounge. But don't mislead people looking for a serious, quiet place to work or study.

    I love the library and the staffs are amazing Lady in the…read moreyellow glasses is beautiful
