Austin Community College (ACC) is celebrating National Library Week, April 6–12, with special events and displays across campuses. These events honor the vital role ACC librarians and staff play in student success and community connection.

From free coffee to poetry contests, each campus is offering something unique:

  • Highland Campus (HLC): Students and employees can grab coffee and donuts in the library on Wednesday, April 9, from 8 to 11 a.m.
  • Cypress Creek Campus (CYP): Rock lovers and artists alike are invited to paint their own rocks to help decorate the planters outside the library.
  • Elgin Campus (EGN): A special “Staff Picks” display will highlight beloved books chosen by library staff. On National Library Worker Day, April 8, staff will don crowns and sashes in celebration of their commitment to ACC students.
  • Round Rock Campus (RRC): The library is hosting a monthlong poetry contest open to all students. A poetry reading will take place on April 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • Eastview Campus (EVC): On April 14 from 2 to 4 p.m., play the Citation Station matching game to test your knowledge of citation formats—and win a prize!

These creative and thoughtful celebrations not only spotlight ACC libraries as hubs for learning and inspiration but also recognize the heart of the operation—our dedicated library professionals.

Take a moment this week to stop by, say thank you, and join in the fun. Your library is more than books—it’s a space built with care, powered by people who believe in your success.

Share your love for our ACC library workers on the Celebrate National Library Workers Day Padlet. (You must be logged in to your ACC Google account to access.)
