National Library Week at the Piqua Public Library

The Piqua Public Library invites you to celebrate National Library Week with us from April 5th to April 10th. 

Community Poem: Giving Thanks

In November of 2019, the Piqua Public Library invited our patrons to write a community poem. Everyone who participated wrote a sentence, ten words or less, about what gratitude and Thanksgiving mean to them. We turned their submissions into a community poem about gratitude. 

Community Poem: Library Love

In February of 2020, the Piqua Public Library invited our patrons to write a community poem. Everyone who participated wrote, in six words or less, why they love the library. We turned their submissions into a community poem for Library Lovers Month.

CommuniBee Art Project

Bee a part of our CommuniBee Art Project! We're making Rusty-Patched Bumble Bees out of recycled and found objects. This project is meant to bring attention to the blight of all bees, but especially the Rusty-Patched Bumble Bee. It's the first bumblebee in the US added to the endangered species list.

Our next series of Piqua Puzzles are going to be of items found in the Piqua Public Library. Put the puzzle together, and see if you can figure out where the object is in the library. 

Library Love

We recently asked our patrons and staff to share some of their favorite memories or what they love about the Piqua Public Library. We received some wonderful responses that we’d like to share with you.

Jan P. said, “The building is beautiful, and the books are a wonderful escape... but the staff bring it all to life and are full of love! They are all super!!!” ?
