The city of Pflugerville's library received a new name and facelift in 2013.

The building's first phase of expansion, completed Jan. 19, 2013, included a renovated space for the library's book collection, a great hall, a children's area and an area for the library's media collection. With the improvements, the library also relocated its entrance to 1008 W. Pfluger St.

Further renovations completed June 8 included adding seven meeting rooms, a space for teenagers with a quiet reading area, a genealogy section and a computer lab and a technology bar for laptops and other devices.

"We just think it's a wonderful place for people to come spend time with their neighbors," Library Director Lisa Charbonnet said. "We are the community living room."

Pflugerville City Council approved changing the library's name to the Pflugerville Public Library from the Pflugerville Community Library at its Jan. 22, 2013, meeting.

According to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, community libraries are those that serve smaller populations, and public libraries serve populations of 30,000 people or more.
