Buda Public Library
Main Entrance

Beginning February 3, the main library entrance will be closed for improvements. The library will remain open during regular hours and all scheduled programs will not be affected. Patrons can enter the library through the garden door on the south side lawn. Signage will be in the lobby to guide you to the temporary entrance. Patrons needing a more direct route can stop at the front reception desk to be escorted through the main entrance. We expect that the improvements will take about a week.

By April 1, 2020, every home will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. Once the invitation arrives, you should respond for your home in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by mail. Accurate counts impact federal funding levels and representation in the state and federal level.
