I love our library! Despite being an older building, it is very well maintained and feels like a…read morenew structure. It offers a special teen section where anyone can peruse for a book, but only teens can sit and enjoy the dimmed and subdued atmosphere. This is quite the opposite for the bright and open children's section with a massive offering of books for the littles, ages 0 and up. Board books, picture books, short bed time stories, classic fairy tales, and the longer fare you might remember from elementary and middle school. Also with on this section, you will find a large meeting space for groups and readings, and a smaller play room you can book for play dates or just to get your gaggle of kids out of the house. They also sponsor the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program as a push to promote parent involvement in their kids' early literacy. I haven't used the facility's other meeting rooms and study carousels, but they have much to offer the community.

While the young female who assisted me was courteous enough, her female staffer seated next to her gave me the cold shoulder when I attempted to just share a memory of mine regarding bell bottom pants [ As she was wearing] she never replied to me, her lack of engagement was troubling as she gave me the impression that senior citizens are a 'problem' for her. Or that she's too good to briefly engage in a subtle manner with senior citizens.

My goodness what a gorgeous library! It has everything you could need - NOT JUST BOOKS!…read more They have Chromebooks you can borrow. Or computers you can use there. There are meeting rooms you can use. There are games on the shelves that you can play. They offer classes on a variety of subjects! I saw one on bicycle maintenance! They even have a 3D printer you can send them a file for and they will print it! There is the cutest cafe and a gift shop! The best part of all is the rooftop patio! You can grab that coffee, grab a book and hang out and take in the gorgeous views of the lake! I love it and can't wait to go back!

However, for some reason, lot of sketchy people seem to be around businesses in this Area especially the library. Crime rate is pretty high. So, be careful and be aware of safety situations which ocassionally arises out of nowhere. There hasn't been a day I haven't seen Police, EMS around here. Some bad incidents seem to be always happening around. It feels like as if bad people and crimes are ruining the beautiful parts of Austin City. - has no tall bar / tall seats

Apparently the doll collection was donated to the library and features a lot over very interesting and different dolls. We were only there for the children's books on this trip, but the staff seemed very nice and helpful. I'm sure we'll be back again.

This library's great!…read more We first moved to Buda in 2021 and when I first went the library was lacking in current / modern books. Lo and behold, I came back in 2025 and was pleased to see a completely new selection of books and tonssss of new arrivals of newly released books. Shoutout to the library staff! You can tell they're on top of it! Also, there are a lot of programs for adults with the maker labs and groups, and you can tell the staff really makes an effort here. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is, like any town with young families, there are a lot of little ones / screaming babies in the library. Many homeschooled groups meet here so it gets pretty noisy. I'm not sure if that's a solvable program or what, but it's definitely not quiet, even with headphones on, so be aware if you're there for some silent focused work. Think of it more like a plane or a coffee shop to cowork, haha.

The decor in this store is fabulous! Books galore (obviously good for a book store). I want a room in my home to look like the Painted Porch! It's cozy and full of possibilities. We didn't purchase anything so I can't speak to service, but the books were normally priced for a bookstore that sells new books. Overall, a great store with a good selection!

The Painted Porch Bookstore feels like if that couple in your friend group, the ones everyone…read moreaspires to be, decided to share their personal library with the world. The couple who reads voraciously, has exceptional taste, thinks critically about what they consume, and can explain exactly why each book matters. After years of friends asking for recommendations, they finally thought: why not open the collection to everyone? So they found a space, bought dozens of copies of their favorite books, and created something extraordinary. That's the Painted Porch. It's a jewel to anyone who reads. A gift to anyone who considers themselves a lifelong learner. The staff embodies this same spirit. Corey, Kim, and Peyton are all lovely souls and are an absolute pleasure to interact with. Kim's book recommendations alone are a testament to what happens when people genuinely love where they work and who they work with. Thank you, Ryan. And most especially, thank you, Sam.

That aside, the new student orientation was very well organized and seamless!! I loved that they had incoming freshman partner up as roommates for the two day event. And upper classmates were everywhere assisting and directing during the event. Breakout sessions were informative and interactive which is a huge plus in my book. Students with registration holds were allowed to resolve them during the event and were offered assistance. The kids got to sample what their next four years would be like on campus. A huge benefit for kids traveling away from home for the first time

Their programs in communications, business, physical therapy, and geology/geography are particularly well thought of. I can't speak to the housing situation, but the campus itself is beautiful, with the hilly terrain, well landscaped areas, and the San Marcos river itself. And yeah, while it does have a rep as a party school, so does UT at Austin, and that doesn't seem to hurt anything. (grin!) If you're a parent considering this school for your kids, it's worth a visit at the very least.
