During the shortest month of the year, we are hosting a short poetry contest.
Teen Haiku Contest

A haiku is a short Japanese poem consisting of three lines and a total of 17 syllables. The first and last lines of a haiku have five syllables and the middle line has seven syllables. Teens can submit two original haiku poems via the library’s website. Judges will award prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Winning will be announced by March 6, 2020.
