This year's National Library Week theme is “Ready, Set, Library!", which promotes the idea that libraries give people a place to connect with others and learn new skills. No matter where you find yourself on your life’s journey, your library provides an inclusive and supportive community where everyone belongs! National Library week runs from April 7 - April 14, and we have partnered with Papa John's of South Lyon to bring you a coupon code! Those who attend one of the programs during National Library Week will receive a coupon code for 20% off of regular priced items at Papa John's! Huge thank you to Papa John's for supporting the library! |
**Storytimes will be on Wednesday mornings until late May.** |

How to Fly (In Ten Thousand Easy Lessons) : poems
by Jasmin Darznik
What's to become of our own seeds and betrothals: all these floss-haired children inside us that want to live? Want to move, stay, eat the soil from under the house, move on. Want to hold fast but cannot hold still. I am lifting them up as newborns to the nursery window looking out on the forests of Antarctica. I tell them: This is your home. Tell them: None of this is yours. Do not believe as I did. When the world breaks open, fall apart with her entrails, fall with the stones or fly. Let the crush of it make you into some new thing not yourself See how these trees take the teat of the world and suckle it, drinking time, knowing it is perfect with or without them. Lacking their religion, you will have to make your own. You are the world that stirs. This is the world that waits.
