Library locations & opening hours

Today is our 100th birthday! The Austin Public Library opened at 819 Congress on February 16, 1926. Grace Delano Clark was our first librarian. To celebrate our centennial we’ve planned a full year of parties, panels, movie screenings, concerts, craft classes and more!

So many people have been asking for an update about our Old Quarry location. Last week, we walked through the renovations with District 10 Council Member Marc Duchen as it gets closer to completion. We know west Austinites have been missing it (we've been missing you) but it'll be worth the wait! Stay tuned for reopening news. | Austin Public Library
