Read Outside: Poetry and Journaling
Through writing that speaks to the theme of community, between the writer and themselves, between the writer and the reader, and between the writer and the natural world, we will reflect on our purpose for writing.

Carl Sandburg famously said, “Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.” The relationship of reciprocity, of receiving and giving back, seems to be at the heart of this statement. It calls for writers to be aware of their voices and engage in the fun and dance that is invited. Poetry and journaling exercises aim to engage participants and develop voices whose job it is to call us back.

About the branch
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
