Driving Plan
Stop Order
Central Library -> Terrazas Branch -> Ruiz Branch -> Southeast Branch -> Pleasant Hill Branch -> Twin Oaks Branch -> University Hills Branch -> Spicewood Springs Branch -> Wells Branch Community Library.
Timing
Plan this as a half-day to all-day Austin run depending on traffic and how long you spend checking seed stock. Old Quarry is listed by NPSOT but is not routed here because Austin Public Library marks the branch reopening as postponed.
