Meeting Room

End 2023 and greet 2024 with Feng Shui Poetry, a form created by City of West Hollywood Poet Laureate Jen Cheng as way to write poetry with a new perspective through a lens of Feng Shui principles. For adults.

What we have to say can go through a lens of feelings or themes to help it be more powerful. We can transform quiet whispers into something more clear or loud feelings into something actionable. The five elements – Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood – are a way to meditate on your message. No experience needed. Come with curiosity.

Jen Cheng is the Fifth West Hollywood Poet Laureate, a 2023 California Arts Council Fellow, and a multidisciplinary storyteller who amplifies under-represented voices. Jen is the founder of Palabras Literary Salon, celebrating BIPOC poets and writers. Jen blends East-West cultural influences in a new form, Feng Shui Poetry. With stories for tween audiences, mystery detective fans, and queer love, Jen is a cross-pollinator. Find her on Twitter/IG @JenCvoice or JenCvoice.com.

About the branch

West Hollywood Library began service to the area (then unincorporated ) in 1913. The library was previously located at Sherman School, a cottage on Clark Street, a building on Westbourne Drive, and a building near the present site. The Library has an active Friends of the Library group.

The new library was dedicated October 1, 2011.
