TPOSS is giving you a chance to Touch Grass on Second Street! Join us for an outdoor reading event where you can kick back with friends and neighbors while enjoying a live DJ set.

Summer’s over, but if you didn’t get a chance to relax, here’s your second chance. Come hang out on the South Lawn of the Library for a laid-back afternoon of community and connection. Bring a book, a lawn chair, and kick back with friends and neighbors while enjoying a live DJ set.

Not sure what to read? We’ve got you covered—a specially curated selection of books will be available to browse and check out at the event.

Rain Backup: If the weather has other plans, we’ll keep the party going indoors in the Conference Center with board games, live music, coloring pages, and more!



About the Third Place On 2nd Street series:

A "third place" is a vital social space where people can gather and connect outside of home and work. These spaces serve as community hubs, fostering casual interactions, building relationships, exchanging ideas, and creating a sense of belonging.

The Wichita Public Library invites you to make the library your third place with The Third Place on Second Street, an engaging program series designed to bring people together. Each event features a unique theme and activity, offering opportunities to relax, have fun, and connect with others in the community. From board games and movies to live music and more, there's something for everyone.

Each TPOSS event also includes a curated selection of library materials related to the event's theme, which you can check out and enjoy at home.

Come and discover how the library can be your third place!
