Pick up our free Grab & Go art kits, available for ages 3-6 and ages 7-11! April's theme is creative reuse.
Kits will be available for pickup on Saturdays in April, starting April 10, between 1:00pm-4:00pm from the Main Library, 300 Estudillo Ave., while supplies last. Picking up a hold?

Eco-Poetry is poetry that address or explore our relationship to nature – ecology is the study of how organisms are connected to one another, and eco-poetry uses language (and image and metaphor) to explore what it means to be a person in relationship to the natural world – what are our responsibilities? How are we dependent on one another?
But eco-poetry doesn’t have to focus on nice, beautiful fields – it could be about the crows that circle your corner, about your neighbor’s overgrown yard, about the smell of Lake Merritt when the geese are in residence – it’s up to you and your creative eye to notice the ways we relate to nature!
