If you are looking for a public area with plenty of spaces to sit, study, and utilize goods and…read moreresources this library is great but the redesign of it has left the collection woefully lacking. The idea of a library is to provide a resource of knowledge to the general public. Much of the viewable collection is complete schlock. Common volumes of classics in public domain, department store mystery novels, religious text not grounded in the study of theology, biographies of the most powerful individuals, etc. A collection should be representative of many narratives and viewpoints. I understand not including the most radical or controversial literature in public view, but the lacking in your collection indicates a stand against knowledge. While it is important to provide for the general public, it is also important achieve and provide for those looking beyond the readily available. Books often are out of print/circulation. Not buying or throwing out valuable resources is a detriment to the community and, on a long enough timetable, society at large.

Their schedule is online and while they don't have as many story time events as I would like, they are quite popular and well done. Arrive a few minutes early to get a ticket for entry. The library itself is clean and welcoming with kids art and games around. The child area has small seating and dedicated computers for appropriate games. I like that the board books are in an elevated bin to easily sort through. Staff at the checkout/info desk were kind and helpful, too. Bonus points for having a playground a few steps away too. I also got my mom signed up for a library card for the first time in decades and it was a quick and easy process.

The entire staff today was so kind and helpful. Great overall experience and highly recommend.

Because of a very large donation(s) the name was changed from Spring Branch/Bulverde Library to…read moreMammen. Part of the donation went to double the size of the library to better meet the needs of this growing community. This review is the same as my Spring Branch Library review. When we had little kids, we felt it was very important to read to them and to keep them interested in reading as they got older. At that time, the Bulverde/Spring Branch community had our small library located in an old house converted into a library. As time went by, the small community continued to grow, and they decided to build a new library on top of a hill overlooking the Texas Hill Country and the busy US Hwy 281 and state Hwy 46 intersection. Later, a generous donator gave so much money that they were able to double the size of the library into one that rivaled the main library in downtown New Braunfels. The library offers so much to the local community. They have children, teens, and adults programming, makerspace, and meeting rooms. I found the meeting rooms to be so very useful as my coworkers work from their own houses. I was able to book the meeting rooms for us to work together instead of being at someone's house. Meeting rooms get booked frequently, so take that into consideration when planning. Besides all the library stuff, this location is also used as a voting place. They set it up for easy entrance, voting, and exiting. Voting early here usually finds only small lines leading to short wait time. Will I return? Definitely:-)

On top of that, they're next to the Bonnie Conner park, perfect for a stroll after some reading time. Finally as of December 2024 you can also get a free upgrade of your boring old library card to one of their new, cooler looking ones!
