Amarillo Public Library

The Amarillo Public Library was founded more than 100 years ago by a handful of women in the Just Us Girls (JUG) Club with 123 books. Today, the Amarillo Public Library System consists of a Central (Downtown) Library and four branches, serving well over two-thousand people every day. The library collection includes more than 800,000 books, magazines, and media materials which circulate over two million times per year. The Library maintains 83 public computers which supply more than 100,000 hours of internet access per year. Non-profit organizations from across the state take advantage of meeting facilities available for a small fee at all five library locations.
