Live From The Southside turns community storytelling into opportunities for literacy, learning and connection.
Our community initiatives create spaces for young writers to be published, help put books into neighborhoods, and bring readers and authors together through an annual San Antonio book fair.
Little Library Literacy Initiative
Small take-one, leave-one libraries placed at businesses, organizations and neighborhood locations help put more books within reach of children and families across San Antonio’s Southside communities.
LFTSS Youth Voices
Our citywide youth writing program gives San Antonio students in grades 3 through college the opportunity to strengthen their writing skills, share their perspectives and become published writers through Live From The Southside.
Southside Book Fair
Founded by April Monterrosa, this annual San Antonio event brings readers, writers and families together while giving local and regional authors a place to share their books and connect with the community.
Want to support one of these initiatives? We welcome conversations with businesses, organizations, schools and community partners about sponsorships, collaborations, book donations and other ways to participate.
