Teen Magazine and Podcast

The Austin Public Library, in collaboration with the Library Foundation, has a Teen Library Fellowship. Teens in the Fellowship are paid to work on Community Action Projects, which include a magazine and podcast. 

Mind & Matter - A Teen Voices Magazine

Digital issues will be available here by May 2026. Free print copies were mailed to every library location - ask your location's youth librarian for a copy or check out the digital versions on the Foundation's website! Copies will also be available for sale in the Central Library Shop later this spring. 

Teens age 13-18 are invited to submit their writing, art, photography, comics, and more to the magazine - nonfiction and creative works welcomed! Submit your work here. 

APL Volumes Podcast: Teen Voices Edition

Check the latest episode out on iTunes , Spotify, iHeartRadio, or here

We want to hear about your passion. If you're a teen from the Greater Austin area, record something and send it to us, and we'll try to include it in an upcoming podcast episode.
