Poetry lovers rejoice! The Treat Memorial Library has received a donation of locally born poet Louise Bogan’s books and ephemera, including a correspondence with fellow poet Claire McAllister. These items were generously donated by Frederick Hinchliffe II. We’re excited to use them in the development of a Local History Archive.
