Poetry Month: "Vigor Interior" by Anne Churchill Coffey

April 2, 2025:  In honor of national poetry month, MyhometownBronxville.com will be featuring poems every week of April written by Bronxville poets. Below is a poem by Anne Churchill Coffey.

VIGOR INTERIOR 

Strength is what we have inside – in our hearts

Strength is love.

Strength is love!

The love we have that comes from the heart—from the people around us,

Strength comes from people we love and the people we do not know who have shown us the way,

who have shown us the way.

What is your strength?

How do you find it?

Are you searching?

It lives within– look inside.

Show me the way! Show me the way!

Bronxville Public Library
Bronxville Public Library

The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.

The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.

The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
