    A great facility to have in the area. Awesome view from the parking lot too. Don't forget if they don't have something, you can make requests. It might be at the Westbank location or they just might order it. Westbank (both this location and the one on Westbank near Westlake High School) also offers ebooks for loan. Pretty sweet.

    Lovely library with a great story-time for children. Books, signing, singing, coloring, crafting a mom couldn't ask for anything more. Great outdoor space to eat lunch and fun area at the front of the building that had a commercial grade bubble machine going.

    If I ever won millions of dollars and didn't know what to do with it, I'd definitely give a chunk of change to the Westbank/Laura's library system; they have been so good to me and my kiddos.

    LBJ Presidential Library - The Oval Office back in LBJ's day

    I absolutely love this library (Lyndon B. Johnson). I visited once before relocating to Austin and…read morenow that I live within walking distance, I often take family and friends who come to visit. It's an important museum that houses millions of photos, videos, documents, etc. with regard to the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, LBJ's presidency, and so on. There are exhibits displaying information on Medicare and its beginnings. The Oval Office replica is pretty cool to see. So many things to check out including, you guessed it, a gift shop! This is a "not to be missed" museum.

    I gave this Presidential Library only 3 stars because I was only able to visit 2/3's of the museum…read more Apparently, they are renovating one of the floors. When we arrived and paid our admission fee, we immediately were met with 2 hosts that kind of went over and explained everything you would be seeing. The funniest part is when an elderly white lady tried to explain to me their new traveling exhibit. It was a hip hop exhibit and she was explaining how interesting it was. She was like 70 and I am sure she is bumping Biggie and 2 Pac on her way to work. The 1st floor was just the presidential Limo, some campaign exhibits, a gift shop and the hip hop exhibit. When I think about LBJ, I am pretty sure Hip Hop is far from the top of the list of things associated with him. However, as a kid from the hip hop generation it was cool to see Run DMC's Adidas, Slick Rick's Kangol and other artists out fits. The 10th floor (I think it was the 10th) had a replica Oval Office, lots of gifts given to LBJ during his presidency and other exhibits as well. I enjoy going to the different Presidential Libraries and Museums and this one is pretty nice but nothing that will wow you.
