We're so happy to have you join our network of teens who are taking a stand to "save the books!" and support the freedom to read across Texas!

These meetings are facilitated by the Austin Public Library with the support of the Library Foundation, Children's Defense Fund, BookPeople, Students Engaged in Advancing Texas and other organizations who care about keeping books un-banned. If you have questions, please reach out to Teen Librarian Kathleen at library.austintexas.gov/ask

Please leave your info below to receive information about upcoming meetups to network with other teen advocates, meet experts (both teens and adult) who can help you get involved in a way that makes sense for you, and get involved in the community of teens who care about making sure books stay un-banned!
