About this Event

Psst... the password is books.

Step back into the roaring 1920s as the Austin Central Library transforms into a hidden speakeasy for one unforgettable night to celebrate the Austin Public Library's Centennial. Slip through the stacks and discover an evening of jazz, glamour, literary intrigue, and Prohibition-era revelry. Don your finest flapper dresses, sharpest pinstripes, and sparkling accessories as you explore secret corners of the library filled with live music, interactive activities, dancing, and unexpected surprises around every level.

Whether you're a seasoned bootlegger of knowledge or simply looking for a night on the town, we invite you to celebrate the stories, style, and spirit of the Jazz Age.
