About the Program
Join WPL and SPECTRUM for a reading circle for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and allies that takes less commitment than a book club. We'll have different readings (short stories, essays, poetry, etc) that we will read together and then discuss. No preparation needed! The readings will explore 2SLGBTQIA+ topics and/or be written by 2SLGBTQIA+ writers.

About the Program
Join us at the Main Library for our monthly special evening of camaraderie and poetry as well-seasoned and first-time performers alike share original pieces of writing. Designed to be a judgement-free, ‘come as you are’ zone, there are no right or wrong ways to write poetry and we can’t wait to hear what you come up with! If you are not ready to perform but enjoy poetry nonetheless and would rather be a supportive listener, that works too.

Meeting new people as an adult isn’t always easy—but it can be fun! Join us for a relaxed, welcoming social night designed for those in their 20s and 30s.
