The ATA College Prep students and teachers traveled to downtown Austin last week to visit the new Austin Central Library to begin research for their latest assignment while touring the incredible new space.

After a brief presentation from a librarian, the students dove into research for their biography assignment titled, Stories of Extraordinary Women. In the process, they had time to explore the library, while taking in the extensive balconies, public art installations and more.

 

Next, the group walked a few blocks into downtown to have some lunch before returning to campus for afternoon classes and practice.

“We had a wonderful time exploring the amazing new library,” ATA CP English teacher Tommy Collins said. “It’s an incredible 6-floor space in the heart of the city, which made for a perfect field trip to kick off our new biography unit.”
