Join the Boston Public Library community to write your own declaration!


This program will take place at four branches in Spring 2026. 

What is in a declaration? How do we declare our own values, thoughts, and ideas and share them with others? This workshop invites patrons into a deep dive of self-exploration and public writing. Join us for an active learning environment where we read, discuss, and draw inspiration from several pieces of declarative writing that emerged over the course of history. Patrons will then be led in a writing session that asks you to reflect on your own values and compose your own “declaration of self.”


At the end of the workshop patrons will have the option to loan their declarative writing pieces to an exhibition that will be on view in Boston’s Old South Meeting House Museum & Historic Site and the Central Library in Copley Square. More information will be given during the program. If you have questions, please contact [email protected]. 


These events are part of the “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness” program series, which is a joint initiative between BPL's Community History team and Revolutionary Spaces.
