Austin Typewriter, Ink. will bring vintage typewriters to a San Antonio library so visitors can put poetry, letters or random thoughts down on paper.

Austin Typewriter, Ink. (ATI) will present a "type-in" at the South Side’s Mission Branch Library on Saturday, Aug. 17, a stone’s throw from Mission San José.

What’s a type-in, you may ask?

Austin-based ATI will bring choice vintage typewriters for attendees to sit down and manually pound out a poem, a few random thoughts or, perhaps, a well-timed letter to a loved one.

A nostalgic throwback experience for some, this could very well be a first pre-PC writing experience for others. Bring your own White Out!

Free, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Mission Branch Library, 3134 Roosevelt, (210) 207-2704, mysapl.org.
