SAN ANTONIO — Starting on Sunday, three hidden golden eggs will be hidden at all San Antonio public library locations. If you find one, it can be redeemed for a free Library Fiesta Medal.
Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones announced the scavenger hunt as part of National Library Week which runs April 19–25, kicking off a citywide celebration that pairs the national observance with the local tradition of Fiesta.
The mayor presented the proclamation to Library Director Sukrit Goswami and staff during the City Council’s morning session. The week highlights the role of the San Antonio Public Library (SAPL) in community education and connection.
“Great cities have great libraries, and in San Antonio, our libraries are essential to how our community learns, connects, and thrives,” Goswami said.
Throughout the week, all locations will feature reflection murals where visitors can share book recommendations and personal anecdotes.
The local festivities align with national themed days sponsored by the American Library Association:
