Letter writing is becoming a lost art in the digital age. Join resident artist Akwi Nji for a letter writing session honoring books that have notably impacted your life.
You’ll have an opportunity to write a letter to a former version of yourself, such as the person you were before reading a book that impacted you greatly, a book character, or more. There are several approaches to this letter-writing experience. You’ll not only create a beautiful letter, you’ll share the experience with other book lovers and connect with each other over the books that have shaped you. Letters created during this program may be featured in one of the Library’s gallery spaces as part of the artist in residence capstone project “The People’s Poetics.”
