Attention all poets! In celebration of National Poetry Month, we're holding an Adult Poetry Contest! Any 18+ individual may submit up to two poems during the month of April. Poems will be read by our judges and winners will be added to a special poetry zine that will be made and distributed at the library! Winners will also be asked to come read their poetry aloud at a special zine release party to be held in the library gardens on the evening of Wednesday, May 6 at 6pm.

Adults can submit their poems at the 2nd Floor Information Desk in the library or email them directly to lleutzinger@molinelibrary.org
