Austin Public Library’s Pride Celebration

Everyone’s welcome at the library – a place where knowledge is free and fun – so it makes sense for our good ol’ APL to throw a pretty packed Pride party. This nighttime shindig features tons to do: a poisonous plant workshop, a pride runway walk, a panel with drag performers, screenings of queer films Changing the Game and But I’m a Cheerleader, Pride button making, a “Hoppy Hour” pet-cuddling session by Tiny Tails, and much more. Pro tip: If the Tiny Tails people bring a chinchilla, pet that chinchilla! Softest fur in the whole world, I swear. – James Scott
