For Adults & Teens
NaPoWriMo
Join poets across the country and write 30 poems in 30 days. It could be rap, a novel in verse, blackout poetry, or whatever inspires you. We’ll help you track your progress, set milestones, get feedback and connect with a community of writers. Write 30 poems and get an exclusive t-shirt!
Sign up and get a starter kit with some goodies to get you motivated and a poetry challenge. Stop by the second floor of the library throughout the month to pick up button badges for your writing achievements like completing 10 poems, using a simile, or performing your poem. We’ll also have daily activities like magnet poetry or rhyming challenges to spark your creativity and get your writing.
Or join us for one of these events:
