    Love Notes: a Valentine’s Type-In

    Clackity, clackity: What beautiful music ye olde word processor makes. Austin Public Library enlists the analog skills & passion of Austin Typewriter, Ink for an event themed to this month’s romantic vibes. The Texans behind the group have been collecting, repairing, and celebrating typewriters since 2017, and now you’ll be able to access this vintage tech yourself. Drop by Westminster Drive between noon and 3pm this Saturday to clack out a poem or letter to your lover on a well-maintained machine from Austin Typewriters, Ink – and maybe learn a little more about your phone keyboard’s ancestor. – James Scott

    The Austin (Used) Book Collective Valentine’s Market

    Have you considered falling in love with a book? Pros: A book’s a cheap date – unless you’re into first editions – and they never Dutch oven you in bed. The con? Paper cuts. Entertain entering a literary affair this weekend with one of the many curated offerings from Austin’s used book sellers, who congregate at acai bowl/coffeehouse/wine bar Community Garden to hawk their print wares. Vendors like Time Being Books, Mac Benson, Rand Renfrow, Josiah Simon’s Rare German Books, and Sleeper Books offer a wide range of physical media from hardcover rarities to cool-covered paperbacks. Save yourself the human heartbreak and pick up your new book lover! – James Scott
