In Circulation: A Century of the Austin Public Library

To celebrate Austin Public Library’s Centennial, we’re presenting In Circulation: A Century of the Austin Public Library, an exhibit tracing APL’s evolution from its early reading room to a citywide institution shaped by advocacy, public service, and community participation. Through archival photos, timelines, architectural history, and stories of access and civic change, the exhibit highlights how APL has influenced Austin’s cultural and public life over the past century.
