History Harvest

Celebrate Austin Public Library's Centennial by shaping the historical record!

Do you have old photos or handouts from an event or program that you attended at John Gillum Branch Library? 

Do you have an story to share about how John Gillum Branch impacted your life? 

Maybe you met your best friend at a Crafty Adult program or your child took their first steps during a storytime? 

This is a great opportunity to share your favorite memories of John Gillum Branch so that they can be included in the archival collections at the Austin History Center (AHC). All items shared will be added to the AHC's archives so that future researchers can learn about John Gillum Branch's history.

At this event we will have the following activities to choose from: 

Photo Harvest

• Bring 2-3 photos or items from a John Gillum Branch program or event to scan.

Storytelling

• Participate in a storytelling discussion with other folks who are sharing their memories about John Gillum Branch. The audio will be recorded.

Remember when...?

• Share your memories by responding to prompts and writing on notecards.

We hope to see you there!
