Universal City Public Library

It’s easy to pass up the Universal City Public Library because it’s small and appears to be attached to a school. UCPL has always come through for me when I need to do a last minute print or scan if I’m away from home.
The staff is from another time, a time where people actually have a mad passion for books and providing for the community (I love this). They offer many after school activities for students and whenever I’m there the computers and study rooms are filled with students finishing papers and working on homework. The technology is a bit outdated, older computers with a tricky log-​in system but the older gentleman who mans the front desk will gently do it for you.
Don’t let the smoky smell scare you off, they have a huge collection of audio books (my jam), VHS (lol)/DVD’s, and newly released books. I guess libraries don’t have a certain smell, the downtown library smells like an old boot, while the New Braunfels library actually smells like a book.
The highlight of my trip was getting my own old-​fashioned purple laminated library card!
Check it out and support your local library!

Small community library with a high amount of circulation. The ladies that work here are wonderful. The building is old but don’t let that scare you off. They have a great selection of materials inside. My children enjoys visiting this location at least once a week. They have events for young to seniors.
Stop by during story time or craft time. Maybe even a movie night. Build community one story at a time.
