Phenomenal Piqua Ladies
Many of Piqua's early social services and reform movements were started by women. Women established Piqua's first community organization, the Piqua Female Bible Society. Local reform movements, such as the Temperance movement, adult education, and community-wide welfare, all began because of women who demanded a better life for their neighbors and community.

Community Poem: Library Love
In February of 2020, the Piqua Public Library invited our patrons to write a community poem. Everyone who participated wrote, in six words or less, why they love the library. We turned their submissions into a community poem for Library Lovers Month.

CommuniBee Art Project
Bee a part of our CommuniBee Art Project! We're making Rusty-Patched Bumble Bees out of recycled and found objects. This project is meant to bring attention to the blight of all bees, but especially the Rusty-Patched Bumble Bee. It's the first bumblebee in the US added to the endangered species list.
Our next series of Piqua Puzzles are going to be of items found in the Piqua Public Library. Put the puzzle together, and see if you can figure out where the object is in the library.
