Support the Sims Library of Poetry

Help us reach our goal: $7,000

With the support of over 300 donors throughout the years, Sims Library of Poetry has been able to stay in our South LA home — and with your continued support, we can keep our doors open.
The first Black-owned poetry library in the state of California, Sims offers a space to read, write, study, perform, and appreciate poetry to the local community, the Greater Los Angeles Area, and beyond.
