Join us in celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Schlow!
With crafts, poetry, and Asian American and Pacific Islander author titles for book clubs, and on display, we are going to be busy! Find these activities, and more, on the 2nd floor.
- Monday May 2 through Sunday, May 8, make paper carnations for Parents Day.
- Tuesday, May 9 through Saturday, July 9, find public art in the Schlow Library arcade, made by artist, Rachel Eng. (Thanks to Alex Russel and 3Dots Downtown for organizing the installation. Find more information about the public art to be found downtown at 3Dots' website.)
- All month long, try your hand at haiku and sijo. Both are forms of poetry with specific syllabic meters. We'll have paper and gel pens, and even a place to display your poem.
