Hayden Heights Library Survey
Ward 6 legislative aide Chris Xiong joined Saint Paul Public Library (SPPL) staff at Hmong Village to gather input from community members about the improvements they would like to see at the Hayden Heights Library. We will continue to be at Hmong Village on weekends, and attend other Eastside community functions throughout the summer to hear your ideas for the Hayden Heights Library.

The Future of Parks & Rec - Take the Survey!
As a community, we’re growing. Our needs and interests continue to change. As a city, we’ve made commitments to make our parks even more inclusive for residents in regards to race, ethnicity, gender, age and neighborhood. An updated Parks System Plan will give us an important tool to continue making investments in buildings, open spaces and programming. Take the Parks System Plan Survey to share your thoughts!
Parks will be holding public meetings, in person and virtually, to gather more input toward the end of the summer and early fall. A draft Parks System Plan will be shared later this year, for expected adoption in early 2023.
Thank you for participating!

Solidarity Street Gallery invites all visual artists to submit work to a juried fine-art exhibit, to be held Sept 9 + 10 along Payne Ave, in St. Paul, MN.
The exhibition theme is RESILIENT GENERATIONS, centered around Southeast Asian communities – and other displaced groups. Visual artworks are being sought, by artists of any background, that reflect on the immigrant experiences of being forced from a homeland; rebuilding lives in a new diaspora home; and establishing a new identity while revitalizing culture, language, and history across generations.
