Good afternoon,

Welcome April, and the hint of warmer weather to come. As National Poetry Month, and containing National Libraries Week, April is a favorite of bibliophiles everywhere. Come celebrate libraries and poetry with us this month, and check out all that our libraries have to offer.

This newsletter covers adult events, but be sure to check out our events calendars online or at your favorite library location for details about programs for children and teens.

As always, if you have any suggestions for future events, I'm happy to hear them.

See you at the library!

Liz
