History |
|
| The Knox Memorial Library, the main branch of the Austin County Library system, was a gift to the citizens of Wallis and surrounding communities by Robert W. Knox in memory of his great-great grandfather, Joseph E. Wallis, the founder of Wallis, Texas. The Knox Memorial Library’s automated, 17,000 volumes, library collection and free Public Access Internet service is available to meet the informational and recreational needs of the community’s residents. |
