As part of the 2024 One Book, One Community reading project, the Fargo Public Library will host a five-part writing and reflection series titled “Connections: Finding Balance Between Self-Care and Community.” In this workshop series, participants will read poetry, discuss and write for greater wellbeing in order to celebrate our need for connection and community.
The workshops will be facilitated by Christine Ellsworth, an author and a member of the National Association for Poetry Therapy and the International Federation of Biblio-Poetry Therapy.
