Thank you for your interest in using the LBJ Library for your future event.

For years we have been asked if we would consider opening up the Library to outside guests; we're delighted to finally be able to answer that we can. Presidential libraries are national treasures—there are only twelve of them, soon to be thirteen—and we're pleased that the LBJ Library can be enjoyed by groups in a whole different way.

Since the Library was dedicated by Presidents Johnson and Nixon almost forty years ago, it has served as an incomparable venue for memorable events with Presidents, First Ladies, foreign heads of state, and other dignitaries and celebrities. Our staff looks forward to working with you toward making your event just as memorable.

Yours sincerely,
Mark K. Updegrove
Director
