3rd Annual POEM-A-THON

April 27, 2024 @ 10:30 am – 4:30 pm EST

The 3rd Annual Woodstock Library POEM-A-THON will be held in on the Lawn in front of the Library. Poets and poetry fans are invited to sign up for a 10-minute reading slot. You can read any poems you like — ones you’ve written yourself, favorite classics, or even new poems you’ve never encountered before and want to read on the fly. We’ll have an array of poetry books for all ages to choose from if you need inspiration. We will move inside if the weather turns sour, but we hope to keep this out in the open air.
