Poetry Walk: April 1–30
We’ve turned our Boardwalk into a Poetry Walk! Celebrate National Poetry Month with a stroll around the library’s prairie land, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the grounds while taking in the splendor of the written word. This year’s Poetry Walk features poems from local writers that will inspire you to create some art of your own.
