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.
This collection is designed for adults living with dementia and caregivers. You can find materials and resources for caregivers, as well as books, DVDs, and themed Activity Kits that will spark memory, conversation, and creative expression.
A modest collection on parenting topics including literacy skills, potty training, and dealing with food allergies. This collection can be found in the Youth Services Department on the second floor.
