Athenaeum Club donates poetry books to WCL

The Athenaeum club donated two local poetry books to the Colfax branch of the Whitman County Library this month.

Focusing on poetry in 2023, the library welcomes and appreciates the donations to its collection.

The titles donated are “Turn Around Time: a walking poem for the Pacific Northwest” by David Guterson and “I Sing the Salmon Home: poems from Washington State,” edited by Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest. The library encourages patrons to come in and check out the books soon.

Established in 1885, The Athenaeum Club is one of the first clubs for ladies in Washington.
