H oused in the former Gillespie County Courthouse, the historic two-story Pioneer Memorial Library building has transitioned into a hangout spot for the community.
Located next to the Gillespie County Courthouse at 115 West Main Street, the library, which was built in 1882 and renovated twice in the 1900s, welcomes guests of all ages to read and explore thousands of books.
Library cards are free of charge to residents of Gillespie County with proof of residency — such as a driver’s license.
Children, ages six and over, can get their cards with a parent or legal guardian’s signature.
Books can be checked out for two weeks, and if not requested by another library user, may be renewed for another two weeks.
Residents of the immediately surrounding counties (Kimble, Mason, Llano, Blanco, Kendall and Kerr) are also eligible to use the library’s resources for a $5 fee.
