If you’re near the O Henry House / LABRARY by the Convention Center, stop by to get an ‘I geek Libraries/[fill-in-the-blank]’ profile pic ready for instant social use!
GeekTheLibrary.org has a campaign in support of libraries everywhere, to help raise awareness of the ways they can help people celebrate or share their interests. The Austin Public Library and the Austin Public Library Foundation, assisting at the Library Test Kitchen LABRARY site, will be bringing a way for you to join in.
Come share what you geek! Stop by the O Henry House, 409 East 5th St., fill in the blank: I geek _______ and get a quick profile picture takenThursday March 6 through Tuesday March 11, between 11 AM and 1 PM each day. The photos will be uploaded instantly to APL’s Facebook page, where participants can then grab them to use throughout the festival and beyond.
While you’re there, enjoy the activities already on tap at the LABRARY, a collaboration between the Austin Public Library Friends Foundation and the Library Test Kitchen, a Harvard Library-supported Design Seminar that engages students in designing and building future library machines. http://www.librarytestkitchen.org/labrary/
