Wild Strawberries by Lynne Kemen (MY FAVORITE THINGS Series) Wild Strawberries by Lynne Kemen Wild strawberries around one ivory blossom. Small, heavenly shape. Tastes haints of copper-haired cousins scrambling up the hill. No reason to lag. Our legs out-run…

Thanks to Silver Birch Press for publishing my poem.

Everyone belongs. “There are unhoused people, mentally ill people, library kids, library teens, grandparents, autistic people, neurodivergent people who all use a library, and it belongs to all of them.” - Mychal Threets

Just received the most wonderful news-my poem, Koganei Park, has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Great thanks to Charles Clifford Brooks III, and The Blue Mountain Review for believing in me.

Yes, please!

Yes!

Take it from a librarian, the smallest things count! Website traffic, social media likes, newsletter sign-ups - this is vital data, evidence we use to prove that we are needed. And of course, every item you borrow, every resource you use, every program you drop in on ACTIVELY helps us.

Public libraries remain one of the best things ever about this country. Support your local libraries, friends.
