About us

 

The San Antonio Public Library’s early literacy program is designed to support the development of young children’s love of books, reading and learning. SAPL staff provide foundational literacy information and materials to parents, extended family, and caregivers of children ages birth-five years. The mission is to empower the San Antonio community with the tools to support early literacy skills.

Let's Play! is a free play event designed especially for families with children ages 5 and under. Children are invited outside to explore, create and collaborate with a wide variety of loose parts, art and sensory materials at their own pace.  Please wear your play clothes. 

Free!  No registration required.  We play in all weather except thunderstorms or flooding.
