SUMMARY:Austin Texas Book Trail Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:Announcing the Austin Texas Book Trail Morning Kickoff — a casual coffee meetup to fuel your book crawl weekend. \nOn Saturday\, April 12\, we’ll meet you at downtown coffeeshop Mañana from 9 to 11am for: \n☕️ FREE COFFEE & BFAST\nEnjoy complimentary drip coffee and tacos/pastries while supplies last\, plus 15% off all other cafe drinks. \nBOOK DONATION BOX\nBring your gently used books for donations to @insidebooksproject — so you can clear your bookshelf before adding to it. \nFREE BUS PASSES\nThanks to CapMetro\, we’re offering free one-day bus passes for the first 100 folks and one-day bikeshare codes for the first 10. \nMark your calendar for April 12!

Each year\, we gather bookstores in Austin and surrounding areas for a one-weekend “Book Trail\,” with participating stores offering exclusive discounts\, prizes\, and/or activations to serve and build community. \nThe 2025 Book Trail will take place on April 12-13\, with a Saturday morning coffee meetup at Mañana Dos and Sunday evening afterparty at Community Garden bookending the weekend’s celebration. \nOur mission is to uplift newer bookstores\, cherish the old\, and energize the local literary community — readers\, booksellers\, and bookstore owners alike. The inaugural Book Trail in 2024 saw 400+ participants and 2000+ recorded bookstore visits across the one-day event\, with some bookstores reporting an additional $5\,000 to $8\,000 in sales compared to their average Saturday.

In addition\, HHS is organizing opportunities for community input to inform the design and implementation of this fund. Community input is essential to strengthening these systems and ensuring this fund reflects the unique needs of families\, children\, and caregivers in Travis County. \nHHS has three upcoming in-person Community Listening Sessions and one virtual session. These sessions will provide a platform for community members to share their perspectives and experiences about our local childcare and out-of-school time systems. During these sessions\, the County will: \n\nShare updates and tentative timelines;\nShare plans for a future Community Advisory Council; and\nGather community input to shape the fund’s design and future use\n\nFood and Spanish interpretation will be available at each of our in-person Community Listening Sessions listed below. \nWhen:Tuesday\, March 11th from 5:30 – 7:30pm\nWhere: Del Valle – Travis County Community Center – 3518 FM 973; Del Valle\, TX 78617 \nWhen: Saturday\, March 29th from 10:30am – 12:30pm\nWhere: Carver Branch Library – 1161 Angelina Street; Austin\, TX 78702 \nWhen:  Saturday\, April 12th from 10:00am – 12:00pm\nWhere: Manor – Travis County Community Center – 600 W. Carrie Manor St; Austin\, TX 78653 \nRSVP here for one of the in-person community input sessions. \n** RSVP is not necessary for you to attend; it simply allows us to plan to have enough food for everyone attending. \nHHS will also host a virtual Community Listening session for community members that are unable to attend in-person. Spanish interpretation will be offered during this virtual session. \nWhen: Tuesday\, April 8th from 6:00 – 7:30pm\nWhere: Online Virtual Session\nRegister here for the online zoom session \nWe strongly encourage community members to attend and share their thoughts to help ensure the success of this important initiative. \nFor additional information please email ChildcareandOST@traviscountytx.gov.
