The…read morearchitecture and interior design are modern with clean lines and elements that accentuate the library experience taking it to another level entirely. This is the type of structure and experience you'd expect in NYC, London, and the likes. Absolute perfection. I love the way the book sections and categories are divided and set up on various floors. Each floor is crazy spacious with loads of comfortable reading areas, tables, areas for rest, etc. There are private meeting rooms, a cafe, gift shop, an art gallery, rooftop deck with crazy good views of the city and Ladybird Lake, a children's library called 'Wonderland', an events center and so much more. The librarians and staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and not bothered if you need assistance locating a book. They have almost everything you could possibly be looking for to read whether for research or fun. Access to laptops and computers. Lots of charging areas for media and phones. The library is a true marvel. It makes me happy to see and know that ALL are welcome, especially the unhoused who would otherwise not have a place to go in extreme temps. The bathrooms and entire library are spotless and meticulously clean. We're so very lucky to have this amazing library in our city.

This is quite sad as some other staff members seem to know how to treat to a person with respect. The final straw was when I was harassed by library staff while having to take an important phone call outside as to not disturb other patrons. This library employee came outside directly to me (indicating she knew exactly who she was looking for) and seamlessly interrupted my conversation to harass me out of turn. There was no apology - just aggressive attitude which I don't entertain. She even rudely asked how long I was going to be on the phone. Where's the emergency? Someone would do well to remind these folks where their paychecks come from. The library belongs to everyone. I was made to feel excluded and terrible during the worst time in my life while attempting to utilize services to acquire aid to help with the theft of my property and parents. This library staff member had no problem treating me with disrespect and contempt while I was in the middle of a phone call concerning aid. Shame on you.

While not as grand and without good views, they still have three floors with big windows and a balcony, so it gives me the good vibes of a large library. They have an attached parking garage, which is free (of course, being in Round Rock). The 3rd floor is my favourite as it is very quiet, the people are so locked in that they motivate me to get to work, and there usually aren't children. I have been most impressed by how this library seems so safe. I have seen many people leave their laptops on the table unattended when they go to the restroom, and I rarely see that in such large public spaces in the US. At the PCL (UT's main library, which isn't even open to the public), students' laptops were notoriously snatched within minutes of being left unattended. They close their 2nd and 3rd floors 15 minutes before official closing time. And their restrooms close 30 minutes early. The way they're so pressed about getting people out is nerve-wracking every time because they are not happy if you walk out the 3rd floor door at 5:44pm when the library closes at 6pm. They want you out well in advance of closing. I'll be packing up my stuff a few minutes before 5:45pm while fully standing up and visibly getting ready to leave, and they will still walk up to me and tell me the library is closing. This is just a petty grievance though. I very much appreciate this clean and safe library. Shoutout to the tax-paying residents of Round Rock.

After being accepted to the Texas State nurse practitioner program, I received communications from the university and the graduate studies department. Email instructions which appeared to contradict each other, or mislead the receiver somewhat, and made the university seem disorganized. Wanting to be conscientious, I sent a respectful email to DOCTOR Smith, asking politely for clarification. Her response was ridiculously arrogant and made it very clear that she was irritated by the email I had sent her for clarification. There was no explanation or apology for the different messages that I received from the university vs the graduate nursing department, and she made a point of stressing that students must refer to her as DOCTOR Smith. I have no problem with that, of course, since I'm sure she worked hard for her doctorate. Her rudeness, arrogance and obviously impatient attitude was a dealbreaker for me, the last straw after the other aggravating issues with Texas State University. I immediately decided to attend a different school, because DOCTOR Smith's behavior made it seem like a very bad idea to deal with this school for an entire 15 months! I'm happily attending grad school elsewhere, even though it is more expensive and the program is longer.
