Wells Branch Community Library

Had nothing but problems from employees here. Very rude and act like they know everything. This library is HORRIBLE at communicating, won’t let you print anything off computers after 530 even though library is open until 6 but doesn’t say on their website anything about that. Employees are always in a rush to leave and never helpful.

I can’t believe anyone gave this library less than 5 stars. The selection is INSANELY GREAT for such a small library and they will order anything for you if you request it. The young adult section is spectacular, they have tons of new cook books, the childrens section is PERFECT. The book selection for the kids is HUGE, and very well organized for teaching kids how to USE THE LIBRARY and do research.
The programming here is a dream, there is always something going on. Craft nights, book clubs, performers, tv series groups, youth groups, nerd nights… I could go on forever. It is one of the best parts about living in Wells Branch.

Needed to print some things and stopped In for the first time. They were extremely nice and briefly showed me around. Plenty of little places to work on your computer or study (couches, desks, tables.) By no means the largest library around but extremely accommodating to get what you need quick :)

Needed a quiet place to study today and I was close to the area. I may, from now on, drive a little bit out of my way to spend some quality time at this library.
It’s a very nice location. The meeting rooms are separated from the main building which keeps things nice and quiet. Plenty of tables, chairs, nooks, and couches. The closed off children’s area is a nice touch. It is a small library but seems bigger because of the layout.
I enjoyed my time here today and I can’t wait to be back. I love libraries.

This is probably one of the nicest non-​university affiliated libraries I have even been to.
Just driving up to the building you immediate notice how beautiful the building and landscaping are. The facility has high speed internet and wifi. The kids section is closed off, which is great to contain the noise. There are a number of comfortable chairs and couches and private study rooms available to rent. There is even a coffee station at the front of the lobby!
The selection, like most community libraries, is lacking. That is no fault of theirs. It’s a shame that libraries and book stores are quickly becoming a thing of the past. I remember spending hours in the stacks as a kid… physically flipping through pages doing my research and reading. Nothing beats the smell and feel of a real book. Hearing that crack of the spine. The occasional paper cut…
It’s a total shame that kids of today don’t get to experience the library of the past… when it was a community meeting place.
It’s a great place to study or simply read for leaisure.

Great little library. Nice and clean layout. Can do your book searches and make book reservations on there website.

I live in Round Rock and somehow got a library card here without having to pay a fee.
(The public library that I live by told me I have to pay a fee monthly or yearly since my house is not in their district –_​_​_​– total bummer)
When you walk through the door you are greeted and helped if you need any assistance. One of the few public places that care for customer service.
You can only use the computer for 2 hours per day. And check up to 100 books although you only get to keep them for so long and renew them over the phone or online for a certain amount of time.
I would love to give this place a 5 star but I can’t because they really don’t have a lot of books. Well I understand its a community library and the place isn’t all that big but what I am saying is it would be possible to read all the books in this library in maybe 1 year or less counting how fast you read.

This has to be the LOUDEST library I’ve ever been to. Went here to find some liteature for a term paper. The entire time there were kids wandering talking like they are out at the ranch grilling outside yelling at the neighbor across the fence. Really?
And the saddest part was not a single parent, not one, corrected their child to perhaps educate the child that a library is not in fact a place for social conversation and interaction, or yelling for that matter. This is a place to be quiet and to whisper. I dont blame the child if he/​she is not educated in the proper way to compose themselves while inside a library. I will never go back to this location again. There are far too many libraries nearby to ever return to this one.
Even the employees never bothered to even tell anyone about toning it down. Even while sitting inside the «study room» I could still hear full and complete conversations between patrons, employees and patrons. and employees with other employees. Maybe this isn’t the kind of library you go to study at.

Story/​craft time is good. Ms. Kristen is awesome. Ms. Roberta is very sweet. I am impressed by the logistics/​layout of the library. The kids section is glassed off so you don’t have to get dirty looks from adults in the regular section. And then the story time area itself is partitioned off again by glass which keeps the kids from being distracted. Speaking of distractions, please please please get rid of the computer in the toddler/​preschool area. The games are stupid and above their head and it’s just a huge distraction from why they are there — TO READ ACTUAL BOOKS!!! (and while we are at it get rid of the Legos. Is this generation so sensory overloaded that a library has to have more than just books?!)
We really like the honor system of checking out books. My son loves being able to scan his own books. And so do I :)
PS They did get rid of the computer in kids section — hurray! But Legos live on. Oh well…

Coming here is always so much fun. Although it may not be as big as other libraries I’ve been to, there is always a really good selection and they usually have the book or movie I’m looking for. I’m there several times a week and I always leave with something great. We also go to toddler story time on Fridays and it’s a blast!

It’s not a huge library, but it is warm and cozy. The staff are friendly, and it has plenty of nooks to settle into.

I love this little library in my neighborhood. They usually have or can order anything I’m looking for and it’s not so huge that one would feel overwhelmed. However, I have had some issues with reserves lately. They send an email stating that the requested item will be held until a date (2 days later) and when I show up, someone else has checked out what was supposed to be held for me. This has happened twice. Once they fix this «reserves» issue, they will be back to 5 stars.

I don’t understand the bad reviews! This library has great events for all ages. Plenty of story times for all ages of children, game nights, movie nights, and craft events. For the adults, book clubs, gardening sessions, and of course, books! I love the online interface — you can check to see if a book is in and if it’s not, you can request the book and be notified by email when it’s in. I have never had any problems with the librarians or volunteers. They have always been very helpful. The best part is that it’s within walking distance. A dream come true!

It is a young and growing place and tries hard.
