There's a seed library from which you can check out up to 5 seeds to plant. Once they grow, you harvest the seeds and dry them out, then return them to the library to go back for someone else to use. I love that! The library also has many thematic displays of books. If you aren't sure what you would like to read, I suggest just walking around and looking at these displays. Something just may jump out at you. They also host many community programs. There are book clubs, adult programs (like a puzzle swap group and book brunch), teen programs (including an anime club and a teen homeschool hangout), and so many children's programs (story time, little one social hour, Lego free play, and Pokémon clubs). This is a lovely library. If you are a Leander citizen, definitely come on down, get your library card, and enjoy all that this library offers.

This is my fourth semester at ACC.. and all 4, I have mainly attended the Cypress campus…read more This is a fairly small campus, easy to find at the corner of Lakeline and Cypress Creek Rd. Entrances from both roads make it easier to get to the campus, no matter which direction you're coming from. There are 2 buildings.. the main 1000 building (classrooms/testing center/small bookstore) and the 2000 building (classrooms, advising, learning lab, student services, assessment testing). The library is centrally located. Parking - Ahh.. some days it's ok, some days not so much. I usually have to park pretty far away, but compared to some of the bigger campuses, this one rocks! Don't forget that parking pass unless you want a ticket! Visitors have quite a few spots near the front. Very nice for those coming in to pick up something, or tour the campus/get enrolled for the first time. Campus is clean, well kept, and easy to get around. Labs are set up well. No cadaver lab for allied health students (Boo!). There is a commons area in the 1000 building and a small cafe. Food.. ahh.. overpriced but edible. There are vending machines everywhere but keep in mind that I can never get them to accept my ACC debit card, so cash is best. The commons area has tables and chairs, as well as big comfy seats and ottomans. It can get really noisy and sometimes there are kids (like 10-16 years old) hanging out in that area for some reason and making a heck of a racket. I've seen it quiet.. usually it isn't. The singing that goes on there is the most annoying. If I want to hear horrific singing, I'll go to a karaoke bar. This happens nearly every evening that I have a gap between classes. I do wish people would be more respectful and especially leave your kids at home.. not on campus. While it is a commons area.. many people do like to study there because you can talk with your friends and grab a bite to eat. The library isn't always good because sometimes it's just really full. I wonder why? Classrooms: Set up nicely for the most part. The smaller classrooms can feel cramped when the class is full, but it's still manageable. Everything else: Restrooms are centrally located and usually quite clean. There is an elevator that works well. Some of the drinking fountains have water bottle access. (Super nice!). Advising area is cramped, and sometimes the wait is really long. Waiting areas are cramped as well. Not much room back there.. especially when busy. The process to be seen by financial aid or an advisor, isn't always clear. 9/10 times I go to Round Rock for student services, even though it is further away. In general.. I love this campus. If I could just get away from the American Idol tryouts every Tues and Thursday night.. it'd be darn near perfect.

This makes the 4th one we have been to, Spicewood, Central, and Yarborough Branch have been previously visited. We want to see the differences and support the local library. This one had a larger outdoor area then most and even had a table and chairs outside to sit and read, not something we have seen anywhere but the central library. It also has some trails with art along it, as well as some interesting but creepy statues. A nice difference that makes it stand out. Inside they make full use of the space, they have a large kids area in the back and it seems very popular. Lots of Adult book clubs and activities as well as youth and children's events. It had one of the bigger collections of DVD's and Blu Rays for rent we have seen at any branch. It does have less computers for the public with only 6 or 7 but to be fair this is the first branch where they were not all full or close to full. In fact while we were there I think I saw one person using them. So it makes sense they focus on other things to match the area they are in. They have display caps with special displays like the picks of the people who work there, which is a nice touch. SHANA SAYS: I was impressed with the huge DVD and Blu Ray collection and I am not even a movie person, ask my husband as long as you have time to listen to him talk about it for awhile. The art outside was great, the fun artwork along the paths was unique and cool addition to this branch. They had some larger artwork in statues of some kind. I didn't get a great look due to looking at other things. This is extra nice all being outside for some fresh air and sunshine. They also have a large amount of adult and kids workshops and things to do! The bathroom was clean and they have a recycled reads area and a clearly marked hold area. They have board games you can rent and several other smaller touches that all add up. There was a cool display of cards that had a legal statement about how they don't wish to talk to you or give you consent in many many languages which was both awesome to see but sad we have gotten to that point. This location is not far, the closest one besides Spicewood Springs so we will be back to check it out more

The library has many community events, including story time, adult programs, book clubs, and youth programs. There's something for everyone!

We picked up 5, all of which I was unfamiliar with prior to visiting. We read 4 of them at bedtime and my boys loved all of the selections! The bookshop also has a little kid sitting area, some GIGANTIC bean bags, and a little play corner where my youngest immediately started to play in the play kitchen.

The study rooms are spacious and clean. There are so many great resources to explore and the librarians were so happy to share. There are movie nights events, a silent book club, puzzle fun, and much more. Upstairs there is an area for plant propagation and a car you can complete if you have a plant question.

You can check out the availability of your book online and reserve it, and they will put it in a special place for you. However, I love going through and just looking through the books and finding my book myself . There's something special about a book! When the book is due to be returned, they generously text you and ask if they can extend the rental, the avoiding charges for forgetting to return a book! There are events that are held at the library, such as concerts and other gatherings. They are posted in the front of the library. You should go look at them. This has become my new regular place. I am now reading a book series and it's so nice that I don't have to buy the book. I just read a book and I bring it back and I get the next one and in the meantime I'm certain to make a new friend! They have a children's section that just looks amazing. They even have a Jeep in there for the children to play! It is modified to be completely safe. There's no risk here. They have an elevator so you don't have to take the stairs to the second floor if you don't want to. When I was there, they were having a sculpture sale and it was just beautiful sculptures all over the library just wonderful. I highly recommend this library.

I am in this library at least 1-2x every other week because not only can I reserve a book online and go pick it up but also being able to cross reference online when they have various series and books helps me get through it quicker when selecting new books. In 8 months I've saved over $315 by checking out versus buying books. This library is always buzzing w people and trying to create new and fun ways to get people in.
