Library FAQs

How does the ordinance change affect my current library card?

Effective May 10, 2024, a resident or nonresident paid library card is required to book rooms and utilize other paid services at the library. For more information, please click here.

Please note: Your library card status will remain the same until the time of renewal.

How do I renew my library card?

To renew your library card, you must visit the Round Rock Public Library and present a valid Texas issued ID with your current address. For more information, please click here.

How many visitors does the library get?

Last fiscal year, the library had over 275,000 visitors.

Has the library added new books?

The library continually adds new materials, and over 19,000 were added last fiscal year. In preparation for the new building, non-fiction and encyclopedia sets were added, as well as a phonics set. Additionally, new youth Hindi and Chinese collections were started (although Chinese books haven’t arrived yet).

Will there be more toys for the kids?

Yes, our Family Place area will soon be enhanced with more items, such as a play kitchen, puppet theater and more.

Where is the red tub?

The Reading Tub (formerly known as the “Red Tub”) is here! In case you haven’t heard, our beloved tub got a new makeover! Over the years, the tub has been a staple in our library at 216 Main St. and has made a comeback at the new library on 200 E. Liberty Ave.

You may notice that the color has changed, too, to align with the library’s new branding colors. We are happy to announce the Reading Tub is here to stay! Check it out on the 2nd floor near the stairwell (behind the elevator).

Will there be coffee available?

The original design intent of the cafe was to include a Briggo robotic, fully-automated barista. During the construction phase of the project, the company was acquired and their business model changed. The library design had to pivot as well and this provided an opportunity for the Friends book nook. The Cafe provides space for patrons to enjoy food and beverage while supporting the Friends of the Library. The library does not have future plans to install a coffee service. Instead, we recommend patrons support local businesses in downtown and visit one of the neighboring coffee shops.
