Our Story and Why a New Building is Needed

The Friends of Spicewood Community Library opened a library for Spicewood's 2400 residents in 2007. Thanks to the generosity of the community, it grew to serve parts of Burnet, Blanco and Travis counties, starting with only 5,000 items.

Click on the two images below to view brief videos as patrons, staff, volunteers, board members and founders explain why a new library building is important to them and to this community.

Today, Spicewood has grown to nearly 7,000 residents and is expected to reach 15,000 by 2030. The library offers many well-attended programs for all age groups. The capabilities and examples of the programs needed for this community are outlined here Community Needs - Services & Programs.

The original library is a retrofitted, nearly 50-year-old manufactured building. That building is deteriorating rapidly. Its condition and inadequate space is limiting the library's ability to effectively fulfill its mission to serve this community. Watch the brief video below to get a preview of the planned new facility.
