BiblioTech East is an all-digital library that is operated by Bexar County. The E. Thurman Walker Branch of BiblioTech is located on the ground floor of an apartment building in East Meadows. There is free parking across Burnet St. and in the apartment lot.
BiblioTech East has a computer lab with 50 Apple desktop computers available free for up to two hours daily. As of this writing, printing is available for B&W at $0.15/pg and color at $0.30/pg. They have a fax machine, too.
There are two study rooms and a community room available for reservation. The kids'/teens' room has gaming devices and hosts tournaments and movie nights. The maker lab has 3D printers, Little Bits kits, and filmmaking equipment.
For residents, BiblioTech loans out free portable devices, including Kindle Fires, Nook Glowlights, Playaway Launchpads, and wireless hotspots.
Once you get a BiblioTech library card, you get free online access to e-books, periodicals, comics, movies, music, and more. There are never late fees because the materials return themselves. (You can check them out again if you need to.)
This branch has a wide range of programming, ranging from kids' story times, to Youth Code Jam classes, and adult education like Computer Basics.
BiblioTech is an amazing learning resource that makes technology accessible to more residents of Bexar County and San Antonio. read more
