The Round Rock Library is pretty amazing, and any Texas resident can get a card free and immediately check out books and media. There's no charge to get a card either, you just have to show up in person, which you were going to do anyway if you planned on checking out books.

A major highlight in my opinion is returning the books/movies and watching them run up the conveyor belt and get sorted... Guess I am just a big kid.

I’ve been meaning to visit when I heard they just completed a major renovation. I might go and get a card. Is there enough parking? And is it free?

Plenty of parking around the library and it also has a three story parking garage. Forgot to mention they also have a set of after hours lockers where you can pick up items you check out and request a locker. And open seven days a week. It's definitely worth the drive over from where I live.

Completely off topic but I don't know who else to ask. Round Rock folks, is the water tower still lit with all the color changing lights? And is it annoying or enjoyable?

That's amazing! Libraries are an undervalued resource, imo.
