 About the Hampton Branch at Oak Hill
With great ceremonial fanfare, the Hampton Branch of the Austin Public Library opened its doors to the communities of Southwest Austin on April 26, 1997. The branch was named in honor of Austin civic leader Will Hampton, who died on September 24, 1996. A colorful relief painting of water birds in flight currently surrounds a large round window in the branch lobby. The painting, created by artist David Everett as part of the City’s Art and Public Places program, is set against a pitched ceiling of skylights to give the lobby an atrium quality. The Hampton Branch is one of the busiest branches in the Austin Public Library system. It is a modern, people-oriented, facility with a large neighborhood following.
