Join us on the Rooftop Garden at Austin Central Library to celebrate 100 years of Austin Public Library, 30 years of the Foundation, and Austin’s next generation of voices — all in support of Library Giving Day!
We’re also shining a spotlight on the next generation of Austin voices, featuring members of the Austin Youth Poet Laureate cohort and the APL Teen Fellowship.
Whether you’re a longtime library lover or joining us for the first time, this is an evening for everyone who believes in the power of community and story.
Sip, snack, and enjoy:
- Live poetry performances
- Music & mingling
- Tarot readings by Typewriter Tarot
- Caricatures by Jermey Martinez
- …and more!
This event is free to attend, but the best way to celebrate 100 years of APL is to give the gift of its future. In honor of Library Giving Day (& our 30th Birthday), we encourage a suggested donation of $30.
Every gift, big or small, helps ensure Austin’s libraries remain a place of learning, connection, and opportunity for all.
