📚 Today we join the world in celebrating International Literacy Day — a day dedicated to the life-changing power of reading, learning, and imagination!
At the Austin Public Library, literacy thrives through:
• 20 neighborhood branches + Central Library + mobile book services that bring books and resources right to your doorstep
• Storytimes, family learning events, and the beloved Kids Block Party—where reading becomes play
• Adult literacy support including ESL classes, digital literacy help, and community partnerships
• Collaborations with the Texas Book Festival, bringing authors, book donations, and inspiring programming into our community
Whether you’re celebrating with a child at storytime, attending a community workshop, or discovering your next read, APL is your partner in learning and growing.
Happy reading, Austin!
