We all know that Austinites can get their free library cards at the Austin Public Library. But did you know you can get access to libraries that aren't just in the APL system? For the libraries in Wells Branch, Round Rock, and Houston, you only need to be a Texas resident! Having access to multiple library systems throughout Texas isn't as excessive as it might seem. First, you gain access to books that may not be as easily available from one library system to another. Second, it can be a great cost-saving measure; personally, I saved over $550 in 2022 by using public libraries instead of buying new or used books.
