The City of Georgetown's Public Library is an outstanding resource for Central Texas and a centerpiece of Georgetown's commitment to provide a quality lifestyle to it's citizens.
The new library building was dedicated in January 2007 and contains over 49,500 sq ft. It is located 2 blocks off Georgetown's historic downtown square at 408 E 8th Street. The multi function building has wide open spaces, a two story atrium and serves as a community center as well as a library. 
One of the cool features is the Georgetown Library's serving as a showcase for local art and sculpture. Currently on display in the courtyard is a large piece titled 'The Distortionist'.
In fact, thoughout the courtyard and interior spaces you will find other sculptures and works of art displayed to be enjoyed by all. 
The Childrens Area is my favorite, probably because I'm a kid at heart.
With bright colors and areas set aside for kids to perch, corners to hide in, stages to perform, or just neat items like the full size Jeep to play on. There are plenty of computers and lots of space for adults as well as kids to enjoy.
To encourage after school activity and participation, Teenagers have their own spaces set aside. There are diner style booths to study or meet friends as well as comfy couches and chairs to quietly read a good book.
If you get the munchies while researching that homework paper, or just need a place to meet friends and enjoy a cup of coffee, the Library offers a Starbucks style coffee shop with snacks and more. 
Of course there are stacks of book, and more books, as well as magazines, dvd's and books on cd to check out.
Need to go online? No problem, there are plenty of computer stations to use and a helpful staff to assist.
So, what's keeping you. there's plenty to check out at the Georgetown Public Library and plan on staying a while there's lots to do!

Mike, I'm really impressed. Over two blocks in size? What a GREAT library. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you have this in localism. More people should read about this... no pun intended.
Hi Valerie, Thanks for the comment. The library is quite an asset for a small city like Georgetown, we are experiencing so much growth, the city decided to build a facility to serve for many years with plenty of room to serve a much larger population.
WOW! Fantastic. New facilities are always a welcome sight to any city. Hopefully many will partake of what it has to offer. Your post may bring visitors!
Wow, What a nice library! You took some nice photos of it. Thanks.
