Poetry Discussion Group
Join us for a monthly discussion of a chosen poet. This month: Nature: Poems Old and New by May Swenson. The discussion is led by retired English professor Dr. Alan Holder. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.  No registration.

Our own Adult Services Librarian Dorothy Pawlowski contributed an article to this month's Library Journal about our recent experience serving as a "meet-up" location for a literature MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). Whether you were a participant or not, you will want to  read more about this cutting edge program that took place last summer. Kudos to Dorothy for the national attention her initiative has attracted!
