April 1–30
Suitable for all ages
Our Poetry Walk returns for a fifth year! 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! Find all featured poems on our Poetry Walk webpage.
