The Austin Public Library invites you to participate in extending our reach into the community by becoming a Social Media Ambassador or #APLambassador. Help raise awareness of the Library on social media and at the same time, raise the Library’s awareness of you, its supporter.
Become a Social Media Ambassador
No application is required. Simply sign up to receive #APLambassador emails (the sign up form is also on this webpage). The Library is active on several social media platforms. We’re organizing ambassadors across platforms through emails by individual staff members that we’ll send to your inbox. We’ll give you the scoop on Library programs and projects and highlight relevant hashtags.
On October 22, 2017, we gave our ambassadors a sneak preview of Austin's New Central Library before the grand opening on October 28. Our ambassadors helped kickstart the positive buzz about our new headquarters using #NewCentralLibrary and #APLambassador. Help us keep it going!
What We’re Asking Ambassadors to Do
In addition to reading #APLambassador emails:
- Add the Library on your favorite social media platforms.
- Share your stories and what you love about the Library – maybe an upcoming event, a recent blog post, your favorite branch or what you're reading, watching and listening to.
- Use a certain hashtag when we encourage you to do so – for instance, tell others “I am an #APLambassador” to show your support for the Library.
Listen to Ambassadors Tell Their Stories
