Special thanks to "MoPoetry" Phillips and our other readers for an inspiring Pizza & Poems!

Special guest "MoPoetry" Phillips of the Arts Equity Collective is joining Pizza & Poems this Friday! In celebration of National Poetry Month, kids, teens, and all ages are invited to exchange and recite poetry from different poets.

Twins Agnelle and Mabelyn (with their mother Felicity) ended their Library Visit Challenge at Avondale yesterday afternoon! It was a sweet celebration. We all loved seeing all of their stamps.

Avondale Branch Library celebrates National Poetry Month with poems and pizza! We will take time to exchange and recite poetry from different poets celebrating their craft, art, and words. A selection of poems will be available for you to choose from, or you can bring your own to share. Food & drinks will be available.

Check out progress of our branch! We're on track to reopen in fall of this year.

Our tweens have officially found a way to enjoy learning a new life skill! 🙌

We’ve introduced a typing game called Nitro Type, and it’s turned practice into something they actually look forward to. Instead of groaning about typing, they’re digital racing, competing, and trying to beat their own scores. Sometimes the best learning happens when youth don’t even realize they’re learning!
