Seeking Community Input
Do you smile when you drive past Simmons Library? Do you
admire the grandeur of the architecture, the history it represents? Do you love
the activities in the park during the summer months? A new grant opportunity exists
to add even more programming on the lawns outside our community treasure. The
Project for Public Spaces and Red Box have teamed up to offer ”Outside the
Box”, a competitive grant to provide 20 communities nationwide $5,000 each to
create or enhance a public space for community programming. The first step in
the project is to gather community input.
We need you!
Join us on Monday, April 28th at 6pm at Southwest Library or Wednesday
April 30th at 6pm at Northside Library to dream with us.
What community events
could we create at Simmons Park with $5,000? Storytelling on the porch with
rocking chairs and an old fashioned ice cream social? A Bluegrass concert on
the lawn? Reenactment of political stump speeches common at the time Simmons
was finished in 1900? You dream it, we’ll write the grant application. RSVP to rpotente@kenosha.lib.wi.us
