I recently moved to Texas to be closer to my parents and to start work being that I am graduating in June. I'm using the library as my second place of residence for the next 6 weeks so I can before for my board exams. The library is very new and is stock full of great books, magazines, movies, computers, and lots of comfy chairs and tables to use. There is plenty of help if you can't find what your looking for and there is a great section for children. Each day there are different classes you can take from computer 101 to art classes. My favorite part of the library is the view of Memory Lake. Memory Lake has been built in remembrance of loved ones who have since passed away. There are many flowers, trees, benches, and walkways dedicated to these special people who are now in Heaven. The wild life and habitats throughout the lake make this a great place to walk your dog, take your children for walks, and to learn about all the different animals, plants, and trees that make up the area. Each day I take my lunch break from studying to explore a new section. I would recommend stopping by here to check out a DVD, catch up on the morning paper and to take a stroll around the lake.

The library is of a size that one would expect for a community the size of Alto, yet it has distinguished itself by the vision, scope and quality of its special collections. The Stella Hill materials are unique enough that they would be considered a major collection within a larger institution such as East Texas Research Center, History Center at Diboll, or at Liberty. And -- the staff makes their collections very easy to access and work with, with easily accessible materials and finding aids that are well-cared for and regularly updated. Stella Hill Memorial Library has established themselves as a unique and important complement to the larger archives in the area, and I encourage you to check them out as you make your way through your research. Thank you Stella Hill Memorial Library and your staff -- we all really appreciate your work and I myself look forward to returning to visit.

In addition to a 25-minute video production about the life of President George H.W. Bush (during which I shed a tear), there are more artifacts here than you can shake a stick at. The guides are quite friendly and knowledgeable, and they are prepared to answer questions. During my visit, there were several original artifacts on display, including FDR's speech on Dec. 8, 1941, and Elvis Presley's original enlistment documents. But those are traveling exhibits. There is plenty of Bush family memoriblia to quench your thirst for some up-close history.

I love visiting Presidential Libraries when I happen to be in the area. So far I have visited the…read moreones for Hoover (West Branch, IA), Johnson (Austin, Tx), Nixon (Yorba Linda, CA), Reagan (Simi Valley, CA), Truman (Independence MO), and now George H.W. Bush. I was in College Station over the weekend for a Texas A&M Class of 1980 Reunion, and part of the agenda was paying this place a visit. The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library complex, located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, includes the Presidential Library and Museum, the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. My visit included the main Museum, a separate building holding the very cool Union Pacific 4141 Engine and the Marine One Helicopter, and the graves of President Bush, his Wife Barbara, and their Daughter Robin. The later involves a pretty walk around a scenic pond (and rose garden area) and onwards to a gated plot within a quiet woodsy area. If Gayle is reading this, of course I also took a look through the gift shop at the end of my visit. I found the main museum to be nicely curated, in chronological order, and with lots of interesting things to learn and remember. I found that I needed at least a couple passes through to help layer my visit. Of particular note (besides the 4141 and Marine One) were exhibits noting the fall of the Berlin Wall, Camp David, the family boat (Fidelity), and the car that the Bush family drove out to Texas for the first time. There was also a special (and worth visiting) exhibit when I was there Music America: Iconic Objects From America's Music History. Also, please don't miss the 22 minute orientation video when you first start in. I found that it really helped set the stage for what was to come at this museum.

Plus, your library card allows you to access digital collections too; I have an audiobook checked out right now.

It helped me make some friends with shared interests after I moved here. This is one of my favorite places in town.

Meador Library checked all those boxes. After doing a bit of research online, we decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did. Our son read over six books during our hour and a half visit (a personal record!), and when he needed a break, there were plenty of fun options to keep him engaged--coloring stations, computer games, and even a few toys to play with. It's been quite a while since I personally spent time in a library, and I have to say this experience reminded me why libraries are such gems in the community. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was peaceful, and it was just the right size--not overwhelming but still full of options. Pros: Great location, convenient hours, friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, and the perfect size for families. Cons: Some areas feel a bit outdated, and it seems a few visitors use it more like a daycare or indoor play spot than a library. Overall, a solid 4-star experience. We'll definitely be back soon for another relaxing afternoon of books, learning, and family time.

I was here for over two hours time morning at a somewhat comfortable table where I powered up both laptops and spent some time connected to work on VPN.

While you do need to be a resident and have a library card to check out materials, anyone is welcome to use the facility, resident or otherwise. Awesome.
