The programs are scheduled at the main library as well as branch libraries

Street, is named for John Henry Faulk, a well-known Austin humorist and
writer. The library system, with an annual budget exceeding $10 million,
has over a million holdings. Youth programs at the Austin Public Library
include toddler Storytimes for ages 18 months to 3 years with an adult,
preschool Storytimes for young listeners 4 to 5 years old, and Storytimes

6 to 10 years old. Other programs include films, arts and crafts, and
puppet shows. One of the most recognized library programs is the Victory Program. Victory Program Homework Centers offer free tutoring to young Austinites using VISTA volunteers. The program was named one of the top 50 outstanding programs for youth in U.S. schools and public libraries by the American Library Association. Check with these branch libraries for information
