We got a Forbes Award for this building. There's awesome acoustics, a top floor patio, a 3D printer. Go check it out! You need to find your own parking though.

Attended an event presided over by the author of a book about the capitol of Austin. The event was well organized, with chairs, snacks, and a podium. A microphone would have helped due to the fact that many attendees were over fifty. That day the air conditioner was on in spite of freezing temps outside. But that didn't keep us from enjoying the heck out of this writer's stories!

Tamara Delijeant

There was a mean staff member in the teen section.

Lueds Far out

Ronald Terry

Bryant Chambers

Not much in the way of exhibits right now (nov 2018) but the staff are really helpful with local history and research about local history

Debz Mackey

I love our library!! Think Hogwarts with all the staircases going in every direction. So many different designs throughout that there is a spot for people looking for various vibes. From the quite room where no one is talking, to the children's area full of laughter, to the peaceful breeze of the rooftop patio overlooking the city, this library has all you can ask .

Rhonda Beckham

Taylor Imes

I went to book signing there for "Tower Sniper: The Terror Of America's First Active Shooter On Campus". It's a very nice building and has some really cool exhibits. It's worth checking out if you're in the area. There is a nice little park across the street with a gazebo.

D Man

Austin history is in this building.

Roy Hammonds

This place has a lot of history to it and a great place to go visit. It's free to go in and look. The librarians and incredibly polite and helpful. And they have a history to look at.

Liv Cannon

Everyone should visit the AHC at least once while in Austin. The historic building itself is beautiful, but the exhibitions are always great too. Take some time to go into the reading room and request some materials from one of their many collections. It's a great, hands on way to learn about the city's history through the papers of its community members.

Bobby Plemons

Lot's of good things about the history of Texas

Karen Wardwell

What a great place to learn local Austin history! The staff was friendly and helpful. Such a wonderful stop along the way to research and learn historical facts!
