The George Washington Carver Branch has a unique place in Austin Public Library's history. The building which is now the Carver Museum was the original Carver Branch Library. In 1933 when a 26,000 square foot Italian Renaissance building replaced the original 1,800 square foot wooden frame building as the new Central Library, the wooden frame building was moved to 1165 Angelina St., resurfaced with brick and became APL's first branch, and the first branch to serve black citizens. Black citizens in East Austin had advocated strongly for a library in their community.

We are very happy to announce the debut of a new catalog. You as a reader of this blog have an opportunity to give it a try ahead of the general launch on August 27th.
Take advantage and get that new username you've always wanted. Other things to try: Look at a jacket cover! Rate a book! Add a comment! Create a list! There's even more than that! That's enough exclamation points! Seriously though, it is a great product, and we are very happy to be moving forward with a new more social catalog.
