April is National Poetry Month!

Hey Everybody, we're celebrating National Poetry Month with a couple of great opportunities for you to show off your poetic chops- and even get yourself published. 

The library is putting out a book of poems by Westland Library community members. Submit them to me at andy.schuck@westland.lib.mi.us or bring me in a paper copy by the end of the month (we may even post some weekly submissions at our display by the Reference Desk). See the library display for more information and fun, interactive poetic things to do in the library (yes, everyone whose poem is selected will receive a copy of the book and we will try to fit in everyone who submits).

We are also having a Teen Poetry Slam combined with an All Ages Open Mic on Friday, April 24th from 6:30-9 p.m. to give everyone a chance to read their poems out loud for a live audience. This one will not be taped by WLND, so those of you who are a little camera shy won't have to worry about being filmed.

Let me know if you have any questions at andy.schuck@westland.lib.mi.us or 734.326.6123.
