Austin Public Library’s Literature Live! presents Tales From Graves. Not from a spooky graveyard, but from Keith Graves, Austin’s very own author/illustrator, who wrote the three stories we will be presenting: “Three Nasty Gnarlies,” “The Monsterator,” and “Frank Was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance.” These monstrously funny, deliciously disgusting, horrifyingly hilarious stories of monsters come alive using three different kinds of puppetry.

In this session, we will explore how to overcome challenges to design library programs that celebrate and reflect our community’s linguistic diversity. We will learn practical strategies to create engaging events in languages we don’t speak and discover how partnerships, resources, and creative planning can help us overcome language barriers to make every patron feel welcome in the library.
fter this session staff will:
- Understand the value of programming in languages other than English - Learn strategies for planning programs in languages you do not speak - Build confidence in engaging diverse communities
People often think that accessibility stops at physical access, but library staff know it goes deeper than that! Come join us for an activity session where we explore different styles for and obstacles to accessing library services, and brainstorm how we can help our communities foster a continued positive relationship with libraries by providing more accessibility services.
Muchas personas piensan que la accesibilidad se limita al acceso físico, ¡pero el personal de las bibliotecas sabe que va mucho más allá! Únete a nosotros en una sesión de actividades donde exploraremos diferentes estilos y obstáculos para acceder a los servicios de la biblioteca, y reflexionaremos juntos sobre cómo podemos ayudar a nuestras comunidades a fomentar una relación positiva y continua en las bibliotecas mediante la oferta de más servicios accesibles.
