Join Omaha Public Library (OPL) on the second Thursday of the month to read with fellow book lovers from all over Omaha at a silent Out & About Reading Party!

On Thu, May 14, 6:30–7:30 pm, The Joslyn is the host site of this nontraditional book club. For this outdoor event in the Museum’s Discovery Garden, we ask that you bring your own lawn chair or blanket. There are no assigned readings—you just read what you bring! All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... It’s BYOBook. However, if you pop in or forget your book, OPL will provide some reading materials for the duration of the program. The Museum will be open until 8 pm, so after the program, attendees can stay to socialize if they wish.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already received 193 responses to our Community Attitude Survey — that’s amazing!

To make sure we’re hearing from as many voices as possible, we’re extending the deadline to June 1st. Our goal is to gather feedback from closer to 10% of our community, and we’d love your help getting there.

Your input truly matters — this survey helps us better understand the needs, priorities, and future direction of West Point.

If you haven’t taken it yet, there’s still time!

The object isn’t to make art,
It’s to be in that wonderful state
Which makes art inevitable.
