Austin Public Library and its 21 branches are supported by taxes through the City of Austin. Westbank Libraries are a separate library district which aligns approximately with the Eanes School District and which is funded by a portion of sales tax collected in the area.  If you live in our district, your taxes support our library and membership is free.
If you live outside our district, your taxes likely support Austin Public Library or another area library. Ask at the desk or call us, and we will help you figure out which library is yours.
If you wish to join our library we have several membership options available.
