Good morning, Neighbors!


Who's gearing up for Halloween? Maybe it's the cooler fall air, the fact that our house has been decked out since September 1st, or the 25,000 times our kids have asked, "When’s it Halloween?"—but we are definitely ready!

Big shoutout to everyone who voted in last week's trick-or-treating poll. According to you all, the top spot to hit up on October 31st is Travisso!

Next week, we’d love to feature some photos of the best decorated houses for Halloween. If you or any of your neighbors have an awesome set up, send us a picture to [email protected] and we may feature it in next week’s edition. 

In today’s Scoop:

  • 🏆 Cedar Park’s new library is amazing!

  • 🎸 Weekend Events and Live Music

  • 🛒 New Hope and 183 road expansion

  • 🏠 5k sf home on 2.5 acres in Leander under $2 million

Let’s get to it!

This week’s must-know news

📖Big news about the new Cedar Park library!

Doors will officially open at the brand-new spot starting November 1, and it’s going to be packed with everything you could want—cozy reading corners, an even bigger collection of books, resources, and digital materials, plus a playscape that’s sure to blow your kids' minds.

Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to unwind or a place for your family to explore, this library has you covered. Perfect timing to burn off some post-Halloween energy, right?

There’s even more to look forward to with community programs, events, and activities for all ages planned for the coming months. It’s really shaping up to be a central hub for everyone in Cedar Park, so if you're a local, it’s definitely worth checking out!

I know my little family will be heading over there ASAP, and we can’t wait to see what the new space has to offer. Hope to see you there!

New location: 425 South Parkwest Drive
