Annual Report 2025

Year In Review

At the LBJ Library we strive to be a place to build community. Over the past year, we have welcomed extraordinary speakers offering a wide array of viewpoints; brought thousands of educators and students to promote civic engagement and our country’s extraordinary history; and featured exhibitions that explore the richness of the American experience. 

We also began renovating the Library’s permanent exhibition on LBJ and his consequential presidency—the first major refresh in more than a decade. And we have seen the LBJ School continues to thrive and grow to new heights, including adding an undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Public Affairs, which has more than doubled the school’s students and infused it with new vitality and purpose.

I hope you’ll read more about these extraordinary developments and highlights in the pages ahead.
