This professionally produced book of narrative poetry by the people of Galway is the outcome of Story Quilt, an award-winning project of the Galway Public Library. Through the Story Quilt project, more than 100 poems have been collected from the community—natives and newcomers, young and old—that capture the unique but universally American character of our town.

One thousand copies were printed in the first run of this beautifully designed paperback book. Proceeds from the sale of the book (publication price: $15.00) will fund art and literary programs for children, adults, and families at the Galway Public Library.

Books are available for sale at the Library and at many local businesses and events or mail an order.
