Third Annual Poetry Circle and Local Poets Poetry Reading and Book Signing

To celebrate National Poetry Month, on Saturday, April 22, at 2pm, the Mercer County Library System (MCLS) Poetry Circle will have a special poetry reading and book signing event at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System.

MCLS Poetry Circle is a dynamic poetry program that promotes poetry reading and poetry writing at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of Mercer County Library System. A steady group of avid poetry lovers and poets from Mercer County meet monthly to discuss and ready poetry.

At the event, Poetry Circle poets Harvey Steinberg, Bill Waters, Mark Schardine, Sharon Wang, Andrew Punk, Ann Kerr and Edith McGowan will read their poems written for the library garden sign display. Local poets Bruce Lowry, Ellen Foos, Coleen Marks, Andrew Condouris, Vida Chu and Lois Marie Harrod, who donated their books to the library, will read some of their work at the event. After the reading, patrons will have the chance to ask poets questions and get their favorite books signed. Sharon Wang, the facilitator of Poetry Circle and a librarian at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch, will host this event. All are welcome to join.

Advanced registration is appreciated for all events. The Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System is located at 2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville. For more information about the library’s programs call 609-883-8294, e-mail lawprogs@mcl.org or visit www.mcl.org.
