The Next Chapter:  
A Season of Stories

From my perch outside the Library, I can feel the season changing.

Not all at once.

But in small, steady ways.

More people lingering a little longer.
More conversations drifting through the doors.
More stories finding their way into waiting hands.

This place is growing.

Recognized with the 2025 Library Excellence Award.
Now LEED Silver certified, honoring thoughtful design and sustainability.
And as we head toward National Library Week, it’s a reminder of just how much this place means to our community.

But what I notice most…

Isn’t the milestones.

It’s the people.

This month, I want to show you what that growth looks like.

I think you might recognize it.

For a few days this spring, something special happens.

Stories find new homes.

The Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale is back — a Cedar Park favorite filled with thousands of books at unbeatable prices.

From hidden gems and page-turners to children’s favorites and everyday reads, there’s something waiting for every kind of reader.

📅 April 17–19
📍 Cedar Park Public Library

What you’ll find:

• Children’s books & bestsellers
• Fiction, nonfiction & vintage finds
• DVDs, music & more

Every purchase helps support the programs and experiences that make our Library such a vital part of this community.

Come browse. Discover something unexpected. Leave with a story.

This is a season of stories.

And some of the most meaningful ones don’t live on the shelves — they live in the people who walk through these doors every day.

Here are just a few voices from our community:

“The library has become a true sanctuary for me… one of my favorite places.”
— Bethany, Library Visitor

“Both of my daughters started with Miss Jane’s baby storytime. They are now in their freshman and junior years at UT Austin.

I totally credit the Cedar Park library for their love of reading and learning.”
— Juanita, Library Patron

“It’s just a magical place—so beautiful, so full of possibility. It's a place that makes me feel happy to be there."
— Carol, Longtime Library Patron

Stories like these are part of what makes this place special.

But we know there are many more.

Has this Library ever given you:

• A quiet refuge?

• A spark of creativity?

• A moment that mattered?

No story is too small.

Your voice helps show why this Library continues to grow—and why it matters to our community.

And as the season continues, our community comes together.

On May 2, our community will gather for the very first Run for the Roses—not just to celebrate, but to support the programs, creative spaces, and experiences that make our Library thrive.

This is more than an event.

It’s the beginning of something we hope will grow year after year—bringing people together in support of a place that belongs to all of us.

Sponsorships are filling. Community partners are stepping forward.
Tickets are available.

If you believe in what’s growing here, we hope you’ll be part of the beginning.

Join the movement with monthly gifts to sustain the programs, spaces, and experiences that make the Cedar Park Public Library so special.

It’s one of the simplest ways to ensure the stories we’re building today continue for generations.
