WEIMAR – The Friends of the Weimar Public Library hosted their Second Annual Poetry Open Mic Night on Thursday, April 27 to celebrate National Poetry Month.
Community members from Weimar, Columbus, and beyond gathered at the gazebo near the library to hear poets of all ages share their original work or recite one from their favorite poet.
President of the Friends of the Weimar Public Library Linda Westergren commended the poets who spoke at the event.
“Thank you for coming and thank you so much to those of you who have the courage to come up here and read your poem or somebody else’s poem. It’s wonderful,” she said.
Westergren also said that the turnout and weather made the evening beautiful.
