Programs for School-Age Children

We have weekly events for school-age children in branches across the city. Activities and presentations may extend beyond the capabilities of our youngest customers. For their own safety and happiness, we ask that preschoolers attend our regular storytime programs designed for that age.

The 2010 Austin Public Library Summer Reading Program is made possible and sponsored in part by Austin Energy and a Loan Star Libraries Grant authorized by the Texas Legislature and awarded by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Through this support the Library is able to provide a dynamic, enriched summer program for the youth of Austin.
