Millions of birds migrate through Texas, facing threats from light pollution and building collisions, with dozens of birds being killed or injured in 2023 due to building strikes in Austin. Texas is among the top deadliest cities for birds in the US.

SUMMARY: The Round Rock city council in Texas reinstated fees for nonresidents to obtain a public library card, reversing a decision made in 2015.

The increase in cardholders is straining resources, particularly with books on hold. Residents express frustration with the new fees, especially those who have a Round Rock address but live outside city limits.

Residents must renew their membership every two years, while nonresidents must renew annually.
