April is National Poetry Month! Please join us for a relaxed afternoon listening to your friends, neighbors, and local residents read a favorite poem, share the reasons why they enjoy it so much, and the impact it has had on their lives. You may also register to read aloud a favorite poem. Registration begins April 4 and is only required for readers.
