Readers of poetry are cordially invited to submit their favorite published poem to read aloud during our Afternoon Poetry Reading in the library’s Community Room.

To participate, email us by Saturday, April 20^th at goletavalleylibrary@cityofgoleta.org and include your name, age category (Adult or Teen), and the work of a favorite published poem that you would like to read.

All genres and styles are welcome. Poems will be selected in the order in which submissions are received.

Please be mindful of poem length, as we would like to have as many readers as possible!

This event will celebrate the diversity of poetry and honor April as National Poetry Month.
