Services
Library cards can be issued free of charge to residents of Gillespie County. Proof of residency — such as a driver’s license — is required upon application.
Children, ages six and over, can be issued a card, with a parent or legal guardian’s signature. Residents of the immediately surrounding counties (Kimble, Mason, Llano, Blanco, Kendall and Kerr) are eligible.
Visitors to the county may use the library’s resources after paying a $5 fee. Non-residents of Gillespie County — such as those applying from surrounding counties — are charged $5 per year for a family library membership.
Books may be checked out for two weeks, and if not requested by another library user, may be renewed for another two weeks.
Youth
Young readers can find their own exclusive area on the first floor. Picture books, stories for children and fiction and nonfiction reads for older kids are featured.
Although many regular events are not being held due to the coronavirus pandemic, a schedule for events — such as story time — can be found at the library’s central desk.
Adults
Adult fiction and non-fiction books, reference materials, the Texas collection, magazines and periodicals are located on the second floor, accessible by stairs or elevator.
