About the Exhibit
Pages to Palettes: the Intersection of Visual Art and the Written Word
This year, we’re exploring the powerful connection between visual art and the written word. Whether inspired by a favorite book, a memorable character, a poem, or even the library itself, staff were invited to submit their original artwork that reflects the intersection of image and language.
The exhibition is a celebration of storytelling, discovery, and inspiration—how both visual and literary arts spark imagination and bring meaning to our lives and work.
About the Artist
31 Austin Public Library Staff members across branches and departments will be exhibiting their artwork.

About the Exhibit
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.
