Libraries opening Sundays

Oh joy! The readers among us are elated to hear that Sunday library hours are returning. Starting Sept. 11, six Austin Public Library locations – the Central Library, Austin History Center, and the Little Walnut Creek, Manchaca Road, Ruiz and Spicewood Springs branches – will be flinging open their doors from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays for the first time since the start of the pandemic. As library chief Roosevelt Weeks said in a press release, “We are thrilled that we will be able to return to providing library services to the Austin community seven days a week. We know that many in the community appreciated the convenience of being able to access their libraries on Sundays, and I am pleased that we have the capacity to bring back this service.” You can find all Austin library locations and hours here.
