The Bugs, Bikes, & Botany: Nature Adventure Kit Program invites families to experience the Mission Reach from a whole new angle—a bug’s-eye view! Brought to you by the San Antonio River Foundation, BiblioTech and San Antonio BCycle, with support from PeopleForBikes and the Better Bike Share Partnership, this program is your ticket to a wilder side of San Antonio, where each bike ride introduces you to both our city’s unique nature and the perks of using BCycle, San Antonio’s bikeshare system.

The Sierra Club (Alamo Group) meets on the 3rd Tuesday of most months (excludes November and December) to discuss timely topics pertaining to the health of the natural and human environment. Always free and open to the public.

Meetings generally consist of a meet-and-greet followed by a presentation by an invited speaker, with discussion. Always informative and enjoyable!

Please join us for a lively discussion between two comadres, Violeta Garza-- author of Brava-- and Carmen Calatayud-- author of This Tangled Body and In The Company of Spirits. Conversation topics will range from getting published, to building community among other writers, to being unapologetically yourself, to whatever comes up spontaneously in the moment. There will be a Q&A, and Violeta will be available afterwards to sign copies of her book. Copies of Brava will be available for sale.

We welcome all middle and high school ages to come join us for a Fiesta Youth meeting. Our youth meetings provide a safe, non-judgmental, affirming place for all LGBTQ+ youth.
