Renovation Update & Notice of Parking Changes

Construction on the Faulk Building and History Center Renovation is anticipated to wrap up at the end of 2023. Check out this report to find out more about the project.

Our parking lot is unavailable for the duration of the project. So for now, when you visit the AHC, you'll need to pay to park in a metered spot on a nearby street. Metered parking is free before noon on Saturdays and all day on Sundays. Additional information including parking and transportation options can be found at library.austintexas.gov/ahc/visit-us. Here's to a way better space when it's all over!
