Long Beach Public Library to Host Community Feedback Meeting for Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library Garden
The Californer/10311257

Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach Public Library (LBPL) is inviting the local community to share their ideas and feedback for the reimagining of the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library Garden. The Community Feedback Meeting will take place on Monday, April 28, 2025, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library located at 5870 Atlantic Ave.

The garden, originally designed as a welcoming green space for learning, reflection, and community connection, has been a beloved feature of the neighborhood for many years. However, in order to better serve the needs of the community, LBPL has decided to revitalize and update the garden with an engaging and interactive green space.

At the Community Feedback Meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to share their input and ideas on how to enhance sustainability, increase accessibility, and create spaces that foster learning and community connection within the garden. Interactive planning boards will be available for review and participants can also take part in a hands-on Design Your Own Garden activity while enjoying light refreshments.
