About the Little Walnut Creek Branch

The Little Walnut Creek Branch of the Austin Public Library first opened its doors to the public on February 9, 1979-with a dedication ceremony following on May 17, 1979.

Designed by architect James M. Patterson, the new 11,000 square-foot facility was built to serve the rapidly growing needs of North Austin and North Travis County. Funding for the branch was made possible through the 1972 city bond issue, which also financed the construction of the Manchaca Road Branch (1974) and downtown Central Library (1979).

While rapid growth in North Austin brought a variety of challenges to Little Walnut in the late 1980s-’90s, the branch continued to expand its role in the community through its programs and services. A Computer Learning Center was added to the branch in 1999, and in June 2000, the branch opened a New Immigrants Project Center to provide helpful resources to individuals who are new to this country.

Over the years, the branch’s collections have also grown significantly-from 40,000 volumes in 1979 to over 90,000 volumes today. And while a great deal has certainly changed since the Little Walnut Creek Branch opened 28 years ago, the branch today continues to provide the citizens of North Austin with varied collections, helpful resources, wonderful programs, and good old-fashioned personal service.
