A few years ago, I had a challenging experience at the Bee Cave Public Library involving my service animal.I remember clearly of the Librarian yelled at me said no animals are allowed even service animals. She said she was allergic, so I left with my service animal. Shocked at the behavior of a person who doesn't understand service animals are not pets but a helpful guide dog with people with disabilities. At the time, there was a misunderstanding, and I was treated in a way that was difficult for me. While that experience stayed in my heart, I chose to move forward with forgiveness and understanding, knowing that sometimes people simply don't know what they don't know. Today, I returned to the library for the first time in several years, and I am truly grateful I did. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with genuine respect, kindness, and professionalism. It meant more to me than I can fully express, because it showed growth, compassion, and a willingness to learn from the past. I have always loved public libraries -- especially for discovering incredible books, vintage titles, and sources of profound information that you don't easily find elsewhere. I had no idea this library held such a beautiful and extensive collection, and it reminded me why reading and learning bring me so much joy. This experience healed something for me. I am thankful for the positive change, for the welcoming environment, and for a library that clearly cares about its community. I look forward to returning again and spending many more quiet hours surrounded by books. read more

This is a small library at the galleria mall. It's across from the lawn/park. There is parking to the side, and a parking garage not to far away. Their return boxes are on the side where the street parking is. Just a few parking spots. Two very nice lady's were up at the front desk. I had asked about getting a membership, which was a quick form to fill out with basic information. And a drivers license. Within minutes I had my very own Bee Cave library card. Like I said, this is a small library, independent. But they do have a lot of wonderful books to check out for 3 weeks. And if you need to renew a book, it's another 3 weeks. They didn't have the books I was looking for today. But I can alway check back another day, or use the "Libby" app. read more

Great library located in the heart of Bee Cave. Voting is done in this building and the librarians are so helpful. They also will help you get the Libby app so you can check out books on your phone/tablet or device. Love this hometown library read more

Great spot to hear librarians trash-talk their colleagues at ear-splitting volumes. On the other hand if you're trying to read, go elsewhere. An auctioneers convention or Kindergarten classroom might be more conducive to focusing. read more

I love this spot. Not only are the vibes good, so are the drinks and definitely the pastries. I highly recommend the cinnamon rolls & hibiscus tea (served cold). So refreshing & and great treat while you're walking around DUMBO. read more

This charming, lovely and well-run library is why I will keep going back with my daughter. So many reasons to love this library. First of all, location, right in the heart of the Bee Cave Galleria, offering such a perfect day: shopping, library story time for toddlers, lunch and ice cream afterwards. Movie theater nearby. Seriously, this is American heaven. Second, cleanliness. Yeah this is a thing for me. The children's area is always clean and kept so neat and tidy. It is small, but worth every book. The rest of the reasons why it is just plain awesome: Technology: you can log in and download books straight to your mobile device(s.) Free wi-fi, computer access, foreign language audio books, learning Apps, the list goes on. Toddler story time - this story time is so well-run, complete with city employee visitors (Police and Fireman) and tours of police cars and the like. Props and letter learning: it is almost like an hour of free pre-school. Wait: it IS an hour of free pre-school. Children's Books and read along DVDs. These are fantastic. While I consider myself to be quite animated during story time with my toddler, having a little help is always a bonus. The selection of books are wonderful: an eclectic mix that adds some diversity to your reading repertoire and can keep you away from the mundane. Look, any library is great. There are better ones than just great. Any place you can go to and check out books to read for free (yes, taxes, blah blah, you get what I mean) is a GIFT. In fact, all libraries are a gift. We are on the 'read 1000 books before kindergarten' path and we will easily be able to do it here and never, ever get bored. Happy reading! read more

It's not the Library of Congress, but serving the Bee Cave area, it doesn't need to be. Friendly folks, a great kid's story time program, decent selection, and great location for me makes this an easy library choice. read more

How long has it been since you've visited a public library? The answer is much more likely to be "recently" if you have children, but for many adults, it's probably been a while. I frequent my local library, Bee Cave Public Library, whenever I visit the Galleria. It's a wonderful library to be sure, but there are many others in our fair city deserving of a visit. If you're reading this review, I'd like to be up front about my purpose here. I'd like to remind all the Yelpers out there to visit their own public libraries, and here are some reasons why. First, a visit to the library will take you back to your childhood if you're fortunate enough to have those memories. Second, libraries are free. You can check out books instead of buying them, so there's a small savings right there from your entertainment budget. Third, libraries are at the heart of what makes our communities great. They're a home for people who love to read, pure and simple. Finally, It's easy to get a library card if you want to check out books, but even if you just want to walk in for a visit, drop by sometime and take a walk through the aisles. It's a pleasant way to remind yourself of the good things in our world. read more

Absolutely wonderful library! I feel so lucky to have such a nice one in the community. It's small, but they have a good selection of books, audiobooks, films, etc. Everyone who works here is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Their summer reading program is awesome, gives great incentives for reading more. They have a ton of community groups and events, and it's right in the middle of the galleria next to town hall. I love coming here because I know I will always leave with a smile and at least one great book. read more

Best library! The staff is so sweet and helpful I wouldn't go to any other library! One day all I had was a 20 dollar bill to pay for some pages I had printed out. She didn't have change so she let me pay the next day :) so sweet! read more

What a great community Library Very strong sense of community. Our kids love this library Friendly staff and excellent location. read more

Ridiculous. I just moved to Bee Cave. Was excited to check out the little local library only to walk in basically to a Day Care. Shocked I asked the librarians about is and they said "well this it how it is in the summer when school is out" but all these kids where toddlers! Nonetheless, adults were on their cell phones, others having conversations while their kids were running around screaming, a tutoring session that was very loud, as if it were a local coffee shop. There was also a man eating his lunch while talking on his cell. I asked the librarians so what happened to silence in libraries and they all just stared at me blankly and shrugged their shoulders. I said, so anything goes here? Their answer, well we are a little library. Moral to the story, if you are looking for a classic library environment where you look at books, read books or even do work on your computer in a respectable environment this is not it! read more
