Willard Library

Lower Level

Step into the spotlight and let your words hit the mic! Join us at the library for a teen poetry slam where voices are bold, stories are real, and creativity takes center stage.

Whether you?re performing your own work or cheering from the crows, this is time to express yourself, connect with other teens, and feel the power of spoken word. No experience needed; just bring your voice, your vibes, and your love for poetry. Poetry must be appropriate for a library setting. Poems will be judged by a panel of library staff and prizes will be awarded for the best poems.
