I’m a sucker for the public library. My first experience was at Carver, which is totally awesome (and where I started reading the fun graphic novel «Bone»). When I moved away from that branch, I was happy to discover Terrazas. It feels a bit smaller, but it’s a great place to use the public computers, study, and catch up on periodicals. Also, it’s across the street from a fun coffee shop, Cenote, next to Domy books, and there’s convenient bike parking Thanks Austin Public Library!

I remember attending the Terrazas Branch grand opening with the family years ago. We were blown away by the design. No detail was overlooked. Even the water drain outside the entrance was made to look beautiful, with a zen-​like circular arrangement of stones adorning it.
Today, this little library still looks mighty fine. It’s like your hip, sassy, single aunt — the one who dresses in the latest and who listens to all the best music.
I particularly enjoy their large cookbook and DVD collections. Their «new releases» section is always well-​stocked with both fiction and non-​fiction titles. Most books here are in very good condition.
Bonus: this branch has a self-​check out console. It’s fun to use and allows you to bypass the other check-​out line.

Nice, modern library. Very crowded though.

Cool little branch library over on the east side. We live nearby, and after having a hard time checking out certain books from the main branch, decided to give Terrazas a chance. Definitely glad I did.

As far as libraries go, Terrazas is pretty cool. It’s a bit smaller than ones I’m used to, but it makes the experience kind of homey. Like maybe you just happened to walk in this pretty airy house and it just happens to have all these books and stuff.
This location has a great collection of DVDs (even tv series!) and non-​fiction (i like to pick up memoirs and foodie books – good selection of those), but it’s pretty lacking when it comes to adult fiction. Like Angel said, they do stock at lot of Latino and African American literature; unfortunately there’s not enough of everything else. But we’re on the eastside, so on that tip, it’s cool they cater to their locale.

I work for another branch of the Austin Public Library, and I got mad pride for my own, but I must confess– Terrazas is the prettiest sibling in our APL family. The library is gorgeous inside and out, and designed for maximum use. It was also named «The Best Little Library in Texas» by School Library Journal in January of 2001. School Library Journal don’t play, neither, y’all.

I love this branch of ATX libraries. .. they specialize in Latino literature. they have lots of computers and what’s really amazing is that they are a center for immigrants to get help on applying for visas. p. s. their DVD collection is awesome! Spanish ones only too!
