About the Exhibit
Release the Puppets celebrates the playground of imagination, where stories come to life through puppetry and music. Puppeteers use movement and sound to tell stories that reflect our lives and culture. For 45 years, Austin Public Library’s Literature Live! has welcomed audiences into a world of make-believe through the art of puppetry. So, suspend your disbelief, and release the puppets!
