Program Description

Event Description

Open Mic Poetry Night. Are you an amateur, a seasoned poet, or somewhere in between and looking for someplace to express your talent? Local poets have an opportunity to read their own work or just sit and listen to the work of other budding poets. This is a recurring event and takes place on the last Monday of each month.

There will be a special event in January: A poetry contest: youth between ages 7 and 12. Kids can check out nursery rhyme books from the library to familiarize themselves with the subject matter. The winner of the contest will be the one who answers the most questions correctly out of 10. An example would be, “Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of …….?” The person who answers the most questions correctly would be awarded a $20.00 cash prize plus a library prize. We are going online. Register and we will send you the link.
