Library Book Store In Transition

The Friends of APL and APL book store, called Recycled Reads, is expected to open at 5335 Burnet Road, Austin, with more store space and a great selection of books and other materials. Renovation plans for the new bookstore are still underway and we hope to be in operation later this fall. In the interim, Mindy Reed, book store manager, is focusing on how each branch can increase their on-site sales and host one-day events. Since sorting books for the store has been suspended, please consider volunteering at one of APL's 22 locations - probably there’s one near you. For more information see the volunteer page.
