Live from the Southside is pleased to announce the continued growth of its literacy initiative, now supported by Lone Star National Bank and the San Antonio River Authority. The initiative aims to expand access to free books in South San Antonio, where libraries and community centers are limited. The latest Little Library has been installed at Trueheart Ranch on the city’s far Southside, providing local families with increased access to books and a new way to connect with neighbors.
“These Little Libraries are a powerful tool in promoting literacy and building community,” said April Monterrosa, publisher of Live from the Southside. “Thanks to our partners, we can foster a love for reading in our neighborhoods.”
Little Libraries offer free book access, promote youth literacy, foster community connections, and support sustainability through sharing and reusing books. They’ve also inspired the Southside Book Fair, highlighting local authors and artists.
