The Blanco Library was established in 1938 by the Blanco Woman's Club. It has remained a private corporation sponsored by the club until February 2002 when, while still under sponsorship of the Club, it was formed into a Library District. As always, it continues to serve the City of Blanco and the surrounding community. Blanco is a farming, ranching, tourist area north of San Antonio and west of Austin in the lovely Texas Hill Country on the beautiful Blanco River.

The library serves a population of 4,500 people in the south half of Blanco County and additionally serves surrounding communities of Spring Branch, Kendalia, and Henly. The Library acquired a 6,900 square foot building through bequests, grants, and private donations.

Facilities include a large general collection area, areas for children and youth, a genealogy room, computer areas for both children and adults, and a spacious public meeting room with kitchenette. The Blanco Library strives to provide library materials and services to support the informational, educational, and recreational needs of the Blanco citizens and community.

We have a collection of over 21,000 books, including a large selection of children's books, videos, audio tapes and items in our rare Texana Collection. Access to the Resource Libraries of Texas, the USA, and the world are available via our Internet services.
