Installation of "The Library"

When the Lenexa City Center Library opened its doors to the public on Sunday, June 2, 2019, among the remarks from public officials, there was a recitation of a work commissioned for the occasion from the Poet Laureate of Kansas Emerita, Wyatt Townley.

Townley’s poem "The Library" was then etched onto a steel plate; the installation was recently unveiled at the Lenexa City Center Library. Visitors can now view the poem on the market level of the library.
