New Library Updates
LTPL has been hard at work on the plans for your new library! Please have a look at our updated floor plan and draft site plan. We are currently working on coordinating with utility companies, furniture selection, planning for new technologies, and so much more. We hope to break ground in early summer - and we will be certain to share that information as soon as we can.
 
The Library Board and staff are thankful to our team - Quinn Evans Architects, Civil Engineering Solutions and Frank Rewold & Sons- for their dedication to the project. 
 
Visit the Reimagine Your Library page on our website to stay up to date with the latest information as planning progresses.
 
Poetry to Ponder Over in April
Joyful noise : poems for two voices
by Paul Fleischman

In this remarkable volume of poetry for two voices, Paul Fleischman verbally re-creates the "Booming/boisterios/joyful noise" of insects. The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee. Eric Beddows's vibrant drawings send each insect soaring, spinning, or creeping off the page in its own unique way.
Paul Fleischman has created not only a clear and fascinating guide to the insect world - from chrysalid butterflies to whirligig beetles - but an exultant celebration of life.
Eye level : poems
by Jenny Xie

Jenny Xie's award-winning debut, Eye Level, takes us far and near, to Phnom Penh, Corfu, Hanoi, New York, and elsewhere, as we travel closer and closer to the acutely felt solitude that centers this searching, moving collection. Animated by a restless inner questioning, these poems meditate on the forces that moor the self and set it in motion, from immigration to travel to estranging losses and departures. The sensual worlds here--colors, smells, tastes, and changing landscapes--bring to life questions about the self as seer and the self as seen.
Dearly : new poems
by Margaret Atwood

The internationally acclaimed, award-winning and bestselling author presents her first collection of poetry in over a decade that addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, nature– and zombies.
