The People's Library

05/02/2023

Hi all! We are having to postpone today’s event due to Covid exposure. We’ll keep you posted for the new date!

Friendly reminder after the troubling news from the legislature today…The People’s Library is community-based. We are not in a county system or state funded. We can offer you whatever books you may want and give you a card in the name you see fit. We are a library by the people and for ALL the people.

We had a wonderful paint day today with the students from Rural Special School! This is part of the Civic Imagination Station pilot for the American Library Association and part of our Rural Creative Placekeeping Collaborative Exchange project with Olivia Trimble. Many thanks to Stone Bank for supporting these students and the community through this project as well!

We’ve been working with Olivia and the students over the past months to develop a community message mural while increasing digital literacy and community action. The message they wanted to send, “Acceptance is expected here, KINDNESS is required.” It’s been such a pleasure and learning experience working with this group, who is our largest demographic at the library. They truly are helping make TPL their own. So proud of them! We’ll do a mount and unveil later this month at the library. Stay tuned!
