I love our library! Despite being an older building, it is very well maintained and feels like a…read morenew structure. It offers a special teen section where anyone can peruse for a book, but only teens can sit and enjoy the dimmed and subdued atmosphere. This is quite the opposite for the bright and open children's section with a massive offering of books for the littles, ages 0 and up. Board books, picture books, short bed time stories, classic fairy tales, and the longer fare you might remember from elementary and middle school. Also with on this section, you will find a large meeting space for groups and readings, and a smaller play room you can book for play dates or just to get your gaggle of kids out of the house. They also sponsor the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program as a push to promote parent involvement in their kids' early literacy. I haven't used the facility's other meeting rooms and study carousels, but they have much to offer the community.

My only complaint for this location is that some returned books weren't showing up in their system and that slowed down being able to borrow again. I'm making sure to return things we've borrowed at least a day ahead of time to be sure that they are making it inside and being accounted for.

I've been here twice now, both times to visit the tax-assessors office to get a license plate (for…read moremy car, then my motorcycle), as I am a recent new resident to Texas. The parking lot is quite spacious; you won't have difficulty finding a place to park. Expect to go through a security checkpoint much like at an airport when you enter the building-- you'll need to remove things in your pockets and the like. The security team is pretty friendly though and will even make small talk to add comfort to the situation. The first time I went there was no line at all at the tax assessor's office. The second time there was a semi-sizeable line (approximately a dozen folks ahead of us) but it moved quickly! The clerks are polite and efficient. I do suggest bringing a checkbook if you have one to avoid a fee for the use of credit/debit card. This building is quite an aesthetic one for a government building and they made quite the effort to spread Christmas cheer with their decorations! Even the clerks had decorated their cubicles with their own fun festive flair.

The e-filing system feels unfair to many consumers, especially those already struggling…read morefinancially. If a filing is rejected for a small mistake, the fees are still taken immediately, yet refunds can take days or even weeks. Meanwhile, court deadlines continue running. This creates unnecessary hardship for people dealing with urgent legal matters like evictions or family court issues. Many people cannot afford to have hundreds of dollars tied up while trying to correct a simple filing error. The process should help people access justice, not discourage them from pursuing it.

That aside, the new student orientation was very well organized and seamless!! I loved that they had incoming freshman partner up as roommates for the two day event. And upper classmates were everywhere assisting and directing during the event. Breakout sessions were informative and interactive which is a huge plus in my book. Students with registration holds were allowed to resolve them during the event and were offered assistance. The kids got to sample what their next four years would be like on campus. A huge benefit for kids traveling away from home for the first time

Their programs in communications, business, physical therapy, and geology/geography are particularly well thought of. I can't speak to the housing situation, but the campus itself is beautiful, with the hilly terrain, well landscaped areas, and the San Marcos river itself. And yeah, while it does have a rep as a party school, so does UT at Austin, and that doesn't seem to hurt anything. (grin!) If you're a parent considering this school for your kids, it's worth a visit at the very least.

As a California boy I didn't quite appreciate Texas rain until I experienced it myself. It comes in torrents and rains buckets but sometimes only lasts for a few minutes. A fridge as a library is genius because it offers a watertight seal. No moldy books in here! Take that rain. I found a book about a South African kid who, in his teenaged years inexplicably began to become paralyzed. He was lucid and coherent for years without any way to communicate. It sounds horrible but it was an amazing read and a good reminder that I need to treat everyone with kindness and respect. There may be a lot more going on in that head than I imagine.
