Your Guide to Lake Travis, Austin TX
A little before noon — before lunches, tears, and naps — it’s all smiles for the lucky tots around the lake who listen to Ms. Morgan read her library books.
Ms. Morgan is UT alumni Morgan McMillian, the seven-year director for the Lake Travis Community Library. And the books she’s reading belong there.
With a stone archway as a backdrop overlooking a serene pond, it’s an ideal way to spend a Tuesday morning.

Some artists just have an eye for drawing and illustrating.
To take a mound of colors pencils and turn it into a drawing that appears so lifelike that you might want to take a sip out of the glass is awe inspiring.
Focusing on the drama inherent in everyday life, Lakeway resident and artist Janet Sopp-Sims uses her fine hand skills to recreate the delicate curves and reflections found in our everyday surroundings.
A yellow rose, a tall glass of beer, the shades in the folds of a table cloth from The Hills Country Club — all of these come to life in Sopp-Sims works, which can be found at the Lake Travis Community Library throughout the month of March.
