A new project in Bayfield allows residents and visitors to tour the city reading poems at local businesses both to enjoy the verses and win a local prize. It’s called the Bayfield Poetry Trail, and it runs through September 12, offering a chance to read and enjoy poems posted in the windows or glass doors of businesses that agreed to be stops on the trail. It’s another project thought up by Lucy Tyrrell, Bayfield’s poet laureate, and is being carried out with the help of the Bayfield Chamber of Commerce and 22 local businesses.

We want to offer services that our patrons and potential patrons want and need. These services are very expensive, so to find out what our community wants, we need to ask! We need as many responses as we can get, from as many community members as possible. We have hired data experts to help us create this survey and we need results to evaluate current and future services. Anyone who completes the survey is eligible to win a $50 Visa gift card! You do not need a library card to participate. The Survey – The survey is a series of online questions in SurveyMonkey. Each response will be recorded and all the results will be evaluated to help us make the best decisions for our patrons and potential patrons.
