The Austin Public Library has 22 branches, all of which offer wireless. If you just need a place to read and write for a bit without worrying about cost, the library is a relaxed, comfortable social space.

Locations and branch hours

For a library card, be sure and bring some proof of residence (mail, lease, drivers' license, etc.) After being a public library member in good standing, you can request a card that will allow you to check out books from the UT library directly (along with other libraries throughout Texas). This allows you to wave the $40 fee for courtesy patrons at the UT library and gives you access to their vast collection.
