If I Built a Car Art Contest

Library Cookbook

To help celebrate the Library's 120th birthday, the Friends of the Library are putting together a dessert cookbook.  The Library is going to be collecting recipes starting in April and the first 100 recipes will be included in the cookbook.

More information will follow, including a contest in May to help promote the cookbook.  
 
You can stop in at the Library and ask at the circulation desk for recipe cards. 

Happy 120th Birthday to the Ogdensburg Public Library!

 

National Poetry Month

Did you know that April is National Poetry Month?  We'll be sponsoring an Open Mic Night on April 23 for readers, writers, and spectators alike.  If you can't make it to our event, why not try some other ways to celebrate?  April 10 is Encourage a Young Writer Day and April 18 is Poem in Your Pocket Day.

Hungry Monsters Program

 

Monsters Don’t Eat Broccoli (according to Barbara Jean Hicks,) but you can.  Kids will create a monster painting while eating a veggie snack.

Open Mic Night

Share some poetry or prose - your own, a friend's (with permission,) or a favorite classic.  All we ask is that any selections be appropriate for the public setting.  

 

Teens are encouraged to attend.

 

Slots will be five minutes each, including any set-up.  Pre-registration of your first slot is suggested; additional slots may be available on the day of the open mic.

 

Nothing to read?  Every poet needs an audience!  (Be prepared, though - if we have more spectators than readers, you may be pressed into service!)  Light refreshments will be provided.  Come enjoy the works of your friends and neighbors, and maybe even work out a future collaboration.

 

Stuck for something to read?  The library has many books of poetry to help you find a new favorite.

 

Registration will begin at 6:00 PM, and our first reader at 6:30.  April 23rd is World Book Night.  Come celebrate with us!
