Join the Library–Celebrate its 100th Birthday!

ABOUT THE CELEBRATION
Events

This year is the San Antonio Public Library’s 100th birthday, and lots of celebrations are planned. Centennial events will fall into one of the following categories:

• Events presented by the San Antonio Public Library Foundation: these include exhibits in the Central Library Gallery, the Chihuly glass sculpture,  Chihuly through Children’s Eyes series (free and open to the public) and the Famous Explorers series (free and open to the public).
   

• Special events presented by the Library with the help of sponsors: Such events as the citywide Library Birthday Party planned for June 8 will be free and open to the public.
   

• Events which the Library would present anyway and which are receiving a Centennial “twist”: Activities such as Summer Reading.

2003 is an opportunity that we’ll get to enjoy only once. How often does a 100th anniversary happen? Take advantage of the chance to celebrate. You can start in just a few weeks, when Library staffers will begin appearing in special recognition PSAs on WOAI/Channel 4. You’ll hear more about other celebrations as well. Happy 100th Birthday, SAPL!
