    Update: I revisit this Library every week; LOVE the quiet of the 3rd floor & seats along the perimeter walls... great for working , writing my next pub.

    This library is a fantastic place to study. While I love the architecture and views at the Central Library, the parking situation makes it so much more convenient to study here. While not as grand and without good views, they still have three floors with big windows and a balcony, so it gives me the good vibes of a large library. They have an attached parking garage, which is free (of course, being in Round Rock). The 3rd floor is my favourite as it is very quiet, the people are so locked in that they motivate me to get to work, and there usually aren't children. I have been most impressed by how this library seems so safe. I have seen many people leave their laptops on the table unattended when they go to the restroom, and I rarely see that in such large public spaces in the US. At the PCL (UT's main library, which isn't even open to the public), students' laptops were notoriously snatched within minutes of being left unattended. They close their 2nd and 3rd floors 15 minutes before official closing time. And their restrooms close 30 minutes early. The way they're so pressed about getting people out is nerve-wracking every time because they are not happy if you walk out the 3rd floor door at 5:44pm when the library closes at 6pm. They want you out well in advance of closing. I'll be packing up my stuff a few minutes before 5:45pm while fully standing up and visibly getting ready to leave, and they will still walk up to me and tell me the library is closing. This is just a petty grievance though. I very much appreciate this clean and safe library. Shoutout to the tax-paying residents of Round Rock.

    From the moment you step in there's a few people ready to help and serve you. It was amazing to me to actually see a lot of children enjoying books, media and surfing the net. Knowledge is power! There's 3 levels to this library and upon our arrival both floors were already closed. The library is located in the small downtown area, plenty of parking, in fact, there's a parking deck right next to it and you can even enjoy downtown.

    I've been here twice. This library is fantastic. It is very clean. It is in downtown RoundRock, and is a place for all. It has several floors, such as a floor with computers and a floor for children! The floors can be accessed with an elevator. It's quite popular and a great place for kids to meet, play and learn. There is a splash pad nearby. I highly recommend a visit!

    Outdoor patio on 2nd floor, perfect spot to crush some RR Donuts.

    The new library is so beautiful! The children's floor has some fun items to keep kids busy - magnet wall, pipes to connect and create tunnels, a large terrarium with a snake, so much! I will say I've always been bad at returning my books on time but the people there are so kind they rechecked my book for me over the phone. Get yourself a breakfast taco, take your kids to the second floor, and lounge around in their little outdoor patio area- you won't regret it.

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

In the main library, end caps of the bookshelves occasionally have special displays of books. And on some empty spaces of shelves, you may find surprises like book recommendations or flyers/brochures. The library has many community events, including story time, adult programs, book clubs, and youth programs. There's something for everyone! I was here to pick up a book on hold; it was easy to find that area and locate my book.

I have had teachers that help me so much, I mean they go above and beyond to help you understand what they are teaching, they care. I dropped out of highschool 4 times and had to get my ged. This school has made the transition back to schooling completely easy and fun. As a normal student who has average grades and a average life this place is A1+ some. They then have the texas state campus nextdoor. I mean they for real made going to college alot easier. I couldn't thank the staff enough and the teachers! :)

After being accepted to the Texas State nurse practitioner program, I received communications from the university and the graduate studies department. Email instructions which appeared to contradict each other, or mislead the receiver somewhat, and made the university seem disorganized. Wanting to be conscientious, I sent a respectful email to DOCTOR Smith, asking politely for clarification. Her response was ridiculously arrogant and made it very clear that she was irritated by the email I had sent her for clarification. There was no explanation or apology for the different messages that I received from the university vs the graduate nursing department, and she made a point of stressing that students must refer to her as DOCTOR Smith. I have no problem with that, of course, since I'm sure she worked hard for her doctorate. Her rudeness, arrogance and obviously impatient attitude was a dealbreaker for me, the last straw after the other aggravating issues with Texas State University. I immediately decided to attend a different school, because DOCTOR Smith's behavior made it seem like a very bad idea to deal with this school for an entire 15 months! I'm happily attending grad school elsewhere, even though it is more expensive and the program is longer.

Prices were fair for gentle used books.
