In celebration of National Poetry Month, join us as we discuss an American classic, "Song Of Myself" from "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman. For teens ages 13 - 18

The Teens Read Classics Book Club meets every other month during the school year, and we discuss one classic title each meeting.  Leaves of Grass was first published in 1855, back when the United States was only 79 years old. His first poems predate the Civil War! Whitman's poems are in free verse and lack strict structure, they are mystical and optimistic, and at their best they embody the democratic spirit. And "Song of Myself" is only about 40 pages long, read the whole thing or only parts. Or if you already have a favorite poem or a favorite poet that you want to share, bring them along and we'll explore those instead.  

This event is held in-person. LA County Public Health strongly encourages masks and physical distancing indoors regardless of vaccination status. Masks will continue to be available for customers upon request. Please see the Guidelines for Attendees during the registration process for more information.

About the branch

Founded in 1913 as the second branch of the Los Angeles County Free Library, the San Dimas Library was originally located in the back of Fairbank's Drug Store. Subsequently, it moved to a storefront location on Bonita Avenue. The present building, located in the San Dimas Civic Center, was dedicated in 1971.
