April is National Poetry Month and the Menlo Park Library is celebrating! Join the City of Menlo Park and the Menlo Park Library Foundation for our annual Menlo Park Youth Poetry Voices Exhibition for aspiring young poets. This exhibition will allow children from first–twelfth grade to share their poems with the Menlo Park community. All poets will have the opportunity to share their work at a reception hosted by the Library, be published in a commemorative anthology which will be displayed in our Local Authors Collection and recognized as a group before the City Council on the night of the reception. Featured poets will be invited to present their poem directly to City Council. Submissions will be accepted April 1–30 with a reception and City Council presentation May 21. Visit menlopark.gov/youthpoetry to apply.
