Have you ever wondered what the area around the library used to look like? We’ve compiled an awesome collection of current and historic photos of the library block and surrounding neighborhood. You can also stop by the library to check them out in person.
The City of Appleton launched the Sidewalk Poetry Program in 2014. Since then, Appleton residents and Appleton Area School District students have contributed over 60 original poems, transforming our city’s sidewalks into an open book of poetry.
