The Library IS OPEN during Excel!
We are allowing students to visit the library during Excel, but please only one student at a time per class as to keep congestion to a minimum. Thanks, Tigers!

Libraries for all!
AISD Libraries has teamed up with the Austin Public Library to get all students access to APL Resources! "This collaboration will diminish the access divide, improve education outcomes, and build community. Library cards will allow students to connect with homework help, books, movies, research materials, games and more. (@austinisd tweet 8/24/18)" Applications have been sent home through ELA classes and are due on Tuesday, September 4.
