The Burnet County Library System is AWESOME! Administrative only to publicize library events in the Burnet County network of libraries.
Not just dusty stacks of old books and "SHHHH!" signs, the Burnet County Library System sets new standards for community service, inspiration and participation in the love of knowledge and education.
