The Manchaca Road Branch was originally built in 1974, not as a neighborhood branch, but as a city-owned regional branch for South Austin and Southwest Travis County. The Branch's "regional identity" was eventually dropped in the late 1980s as the Austin Public Library moved towards equalizing services among all branches. Since then, the Branch has expanded and deepened its role within the South Austin community.
Hello everyone, we are happy to announce that we now have comments enabled on some Austin Public Library Blogs.
Please note our comment policy:
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.
