Power of a Dream Sisters Helping Sisters Ministries, Inc., are advocates against domestic violence — a concern for all teens and adults, regardless of race, color, or gender. They empower victims of domestic violence by bringing back self-respect spiritually, mentally, physically, verbally, educationally, and emotionally. Power of a Dream is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization.

This marks Power of a Dream Sisters Helping Sisters Ministries, Inc.'s 15th year. Their purpose is to make everyone aware of the different types and signs of domestic violence before tragedy strikes in their own personal, family's, or friends' lives.

Power of a Dram brings awareness to the signs of domestic violence and healing from domestic violence through self-care, workshops for teens and adults, court advocacy, self-defense, monthly support meetings, and the Everyday Brother male panel (quarterly), and the women's forum (bi-annually).

About the branch

The Maple Valley Branch Library is a key component of a neighborhood that finds a welcoming community gathering place within its walls. Artwork features local artists Debra Calhoun, Melissa Daubert, and the late Miller Horns, and a plaque pays tribute to poet and Maple Valley childhood customer Rita Dove. Rich book, movie, and music collections celebrate, among other genres, the extensive contribution of African-Americans to the arts, literature. In addition, the library is a hub of activity that ranges from computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning and faxing, to hundreds of programs for all ages on themes as diverse as local history, book discussions, crafting, storytelling, homework help, and more.

Local non-profit groups meet at the Maple Valley Branch Library frequently, and Library staff can be found participating in events at local schools and as participants in community organizations working toward neighborhood success. Maple Valley Branch Library is the one-stop spot for education, creativity, and entertainment to suit all interests.
