Why You’ll Love It

A library may seem like a strange tourist destination, but just like how everything is bigger in Texas, the Austin Central Library is no exception. This six-story literary behemoth is houses a rooftop garden, a café, an art gallery, and a boutique. They even have specific events and areas of the library for kids, teens, and tweens to explore. 


So sip on your favorite drink, grab a spot in their rooftop garden, and spend a few hours escaping into the pages of a good book for a moment of tranquility within this state-of-the-art space.
