Austin Central Library
This incredible library in the center of Downtown Austin is free to visit, and library cards are free to residents, too! You could spend a day just wandering the building for fun, because there is so much to look at. Plan to spend some time here—there are 6 floors totaling 200,000 square feet to explore, including a rooftop garden with great views of the city. There’s a technology petting zoo, where people can get up close and personal with the latest tech, like 3D printers. And when it comes to books, the library has the potential to house more than half a million of them.
