Community Calendar

Join us in an informal poetry circle to read, share, or just listen to some local poets.

Amarillo Public Library’s SocialRx program is a great opportunity for area residents looking to expand their horizons and their circle of friends.

The program is designed to introduce people to engaging opportunities available in our community. Each month, community organizations offer information about classes, volunteer opportunities, and clubs so interested individuals can explore the options.

At the September 11th, 2024 meeting:

--The Amarillo Chapter of the League of Women Voters will provide information on LWV membership, fellowship, and volunteer opportunities.
--ACTS Community will give us the scoop on the Senior Center and volunteer options.
--Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare will explain about ways to get involved in helping pets reunite with their people or find forever homes.

Each Social Rx meeting takes place on the second Wednesday of the month at 1 PM at the Downtown Library – located at 413 SE 4th. Come meet new people and learn new things! For more information, contact Program Specialist Cynthia Hunt at 806-378-6019.
