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, at many local events, or by mail.
