Austin Book Workers’ goal is promoting books and book arts in central Texas. Through programs, workshops, and education, Austin Book Workers’ aim is to make Central Texans -- and the world! -- more aware of books and book arts.

Our members are diverse: bookbinders, conservators, calligraphers, retired persons, students, artists, and people who just love books, professional or amateur. The common thread among this eclectic group is the love of books. As a group, we explore everything from artists’ books to fine bindings. Currently, we ask for donations of $12 a year from members.

ABW meets the second Thursday of every month, September through May. Traditionally, September is our Under Cover Friends Revealed program. Programs vary from month to month and center on techniques, tools, and talent.
