In honor of National Poetry Month, RHPL is having a youth poetry writing contest. Whether you write poems all the time or you’ve never written a poem before, this is your chance to express yourself and share your words with the community.

All poets are encouraged to enter the RHPL’s Poetry Contest that starts Monday, April 6th at 9 a.m. Poets may submit up to 3 poems for the contest. Submission for the RHPL’s Poetry Contest ends April 24th, 6 p.m.

Moving abroad, learning a new language, and immersing yourself in a new culture are challenges many in our community experience. With that in mind, our English Language Learners (ELL) Conversation Group and ELL Book Clubs provide a safe and fun place for our patrons to practice their English.
