readings that takes place on the beautiful patio outside
of Richard’s Fine Coffees at the Library. Join us on
the last Tuesday of each month (September through April)
at 6:30 p.m. for this family event. A poetry selection
book is provided for participants that do not bring

Join us in this new movement! It’s very similar to karaoke;
we provide a list of poems for you to choose from and you
read your poem of choice to the group. Your own piece of

it appropriate for this family event! For more information,
