Open Mic Poetry Night

April is National Poetry Month. Come to the Albemarle Library to celebrate by participating in our 7th annual Open Mic Poetry Night on Thursday, April 16, 2009, from 7:00-8:00 pm. You may read your original poetry or a favorite published poem. Register to read by contacting Melanie Holles at 704-986-3761.
The Academy of American Poets has some more suggestions for celebrating National Poetry Month. Try reading a book of poetry, the Stanly County Public Library has many books of poetry available for checkout; memorize a poem; take a poem out to lunch; recite a poem to family and friends; visit www.poets.org; or attend a poetry reading.
Open Mic Poetry Night is part of the library’s celebration of National Library Week, April 12-18, 2009. Other activities include children’s story times. Check your local library for story time schedules.
