Schertz Public Library

As of currently, Second Chapter Art is located out of Schertz, Texas, just outside of San Antonio. We primarily support the Schertz, Cibolo, and Universal City area, however we will happily support and work with the surrounding areas as well.

All of our art is made from old, recycled books that were going to be thrown away. We hope to give these books new life and appreciation, hints the name "Second Chapter". 

Currently, we are sponsoring the Schertz Public Library to help fund their community programs by donating a portion of all sales. We encourage the local Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City area to join us in supporting the Schertz Public Library in their goal to better reach and support our community. You can learn more about the Schertz Public Library by visiting or contacting them via the link below.

About Us

Our mission is to provide local libraries with the funds they need to continue to aid and provide our local community, while simultaneously fighting the censorship caused by libraries being defunded. We hope to encourage not only our surrounding community, but also those outside of our reach to do the same by helping their local libraries as well. 

Our Mission

At the beginning of 2025, The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) faced an executive order of dismantlement, resulting in grants being cut, contracts being cancelled, and many staff being placed on administrative leave. On top of this many local governments have cut library funds. Because of this, the crucial funding and grant money used to help libraries purchase more books and support their communities has been lost. September 2nd, 2025, I launched Second Chapter Art in hopes of aiding local libraries, and ultimately, our local communities, as well as inspiring people to read, recycle, and let out their creativity.

Our Story

About SCA

What is Project Second Chapter? Project Second Chapter is a project dedicated to supporting local libraries and their communities by donating, volunteering, socializing, and getting creative. 

No matter who you are or where you're located in the US, by joining Project Second Chapter, you are giving back to your community and your local libraries. There are a number of ways to get involved with the project, here's a few ideas:

- Support your local libraries. Volunteer your time, donate back to them when you can, see how you can get involved.
- Never throw away a book, no matter it's condition. Donate it to local artists, make art yourself, or if it's in good enough condition, donate it to local thrift stores and book shops.
- Shop Local Businesses and Brands, get to know your community.
- If you live in an area where Library funding has been cut, speak up! Talk to your local government officials and stress the importance of our libraries.
