Special Holiday for 8th Graders on Thursday, May 23, 2024
8th grade students will attend their finals Monday, May 20 through Wednesday, May 22, but will be given a special holiday on Thursday, May 23 so they can relax and prepare for graduation later that afternoon. We ask that all 8th grade graduates are brought to the Library’s Special Events Center by 1:15 p.m. for one final run.

No Tickets or Reserved Seating for Families
First come, first serve. All are welcome to attend! We will open the doors at 1:45 p.m. 

Parking
Families are welcome to pay for parking at the Austin Central Public Library. The entrance to the garage is off of West Avenue. Please see this link for more details about the lot. If the lot is full try City Hall or use your favorite parking app.

Additionally, families are welcome to park on the Headwaters Campus (in a Headwaters spot) for free and walk over to the Library. 


What are the Gates of Life?
At the end of each school year, we have a Gates of Life ceremony for students who are moving up and moving on. This tradition spans across the grade levels at Headwaters and is a treasured tradition. We recite these words to mark the transition, "An ending is but another beginning. Rejoice all ye who pass through these gates."
