The Friends of the Altadena Library will sponsor its annual Poetry & Cookies celebration on Saturday April 9 at 2 pm.
This free event will be held this year at the Altadena Senior Center, 560 E. Mariposa, just west of the main library, and feature a reading by the Poet Laureate for Altadena Library, Alene Terzian.
The public is invited to hear Ms. Terzian and other local poets perform their original poems. There will also be a drawing for some great prizes. Past attendees have commented on what an “inspiring and fun event” this free program has been. Following the main readings, there will be an open mic and a poet’s corner where poets may share their poetry publications and offer them for purchase.
The library’s 2011 edition of Poetry and Cookies, a compilation of poetry by local poets, will also be available for sale. For more information please call 626-798-0833 x 115 or check the library’s website at http://www.altadenalibrary.org.
