The staff are super friendly and helpful here, I put a lot of kids’ books on hold and it is super convenient to park and pick up. The drive in by the dumpsters is not ideal and the facility definitely needs an update but perhaps the more of us that use it and show the value the more likely that it will get some funding and attention!

Whatever happened to the "etiquette" of "quiet" in a library so one could concentrate on their business?? Parents allow, and are essentially allowed thus by staff, to let their children be misbehaving and not average controlled. There are limited nos. of computers 'cause of the no. of patrons in the locale.

This is one of the bigger Austin libraries, or it is laid out in a way that makes it look larger. It has more good materials for toddlers than the selection at Milwood which is closest to my house. It also has good meeting rooms. Lastly you can see Little Walnut Creek from the front door.

Service is terrible at this location. Personnel reflect poor training and even worse customer relations. The only reason I rated them at 1 is because 0 was not an option. I saw an elderly lady trying to use the copier treated in a rude

First, I am not an employee knowing everything. This library is in a great location, and there is a H-E-B right across the street. There are a small amount of computers, and there are no open hours on Sunday. There are open bathrooms and a

You won't be bothered by loud patrons at Little Walnut Creek. The staff are so loud they drown them out. There is a staff person who can be clearly heard from one end of the library to the other, who talks constantly. To be fair, she seems

  • Jacob Solbux

Awfully cramped. Theres never any tables or chairs. The library is in a real ghetto area and full of homeless people who take up what few seats there are. I understand every library has homeless, but this location doesnt have enough spots

  • • JHA4

Library was dated and shabby. Not at all welcoming. More tables + seating needed. Given the large area served, this facility needs to be expanded. Sell the current miserly building on a small lot and rebuild across the street next to the

The neighborhood has gotten better, and that means the library is safer. I really like getting my books as holds in this library--I'm in and out again in five minutes, so I get my books while avoiding the crowds. I like the librarians.

  • Joseph Wheeler

Noisy, loud staff, people talking on their cell phones. Why they don't have carpet on there carts/shelves to keep them from rattling I don't understand!! I was wearing my over the ear headphones and it was still noisy.

  • Margarita Young

  • Cesar Zambrano

Its not a bad library at all staff is cool but due to its small size and kids there is always some noise level. I prefer to work in a dead quiet environment so I can focus easier but overrall it meets the standard.

  • Scarlett Hao

Sure this might not be the fanciest location, and when I walk out of the library I saw some homeless people near the HEB across the road, but I think the neighborhood is getting better.

It's nice, but there is a security guard that likes to harass people there. I have tried to file a complaint, but I can't even get a complaint form and nobody will cooperate.
