WIMBERLEY — Beyond the books that fill the shelves, the Wimberley Village Library offers a variety of programs fit for the entire family to enjoy.
It has been a pillar in the town since its establishment in 1976, when community members started to get the idea of wanting a library. They pulled all of their resources and started a collection at a local church, Chapel in the Hills, which is directly behind the original building. It was from then on that Wimberley’s well-known Johnson family donated the land and the original library structure was able to be built, explained director Carolyn Manning.
“Most recently, a couple of years ago, we had that expansion and we doubled our footprint. So, we have basically two libraries that are connected,” Manning said. “We are not part of the city or the county. We are what’s considered a district library and so, we receive sales tax revenue as our main source of funding.”
