Do You Love Books? (So Do We!)
Sue Hall, BookCellar Manager We run the nonprofit book store in the Central Library, downtown, and generate money to support the library. Our volunteers get free parking during their volunteer hours, training to do a variety of interesting tasks, and a discount on the books and DVDs they purchase. Volunteers earn badges and aprons, while working with a great team! You must be over 18, and able to commit to one 4-hour shift per week during 11:00-3:00, Monday-Saturday. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please contact the Friends of the San Antonio Public Library BookCellar Manager at fosaplbkclrmanager@gmail.com, or call 210-227-9519 during store hours.

Jessica Zurita The Library is launching library services for Forest Hills Branch Library patrons at the Gilbert Garza Community Center at 1450 Mira Vista, 78228 beginning Tuesday, July 27. Services at Forest Hills Branch Library remain unavailable at this time due to ongoing repairs to facility damage sustained during this year’s winter storm. The Library has launched a communication plan to inform patrons and stakeholders of library services available at the Gilbert Garza Community Center. The communication plan includes social media promotions, direct emails to patrons who have identified Forest Hills Branch Library as their primary library and broadly across the Forest Hills Branch Library service area. Information will be transmitted via English and Spanish. Would you help us spread the word? Below is a synopsis for your information. I am available if you have any questions.
