Poetry and More To Finish Out April

The Alexander Muse teen art and literary magazine will debut its 8th edition on Tuesday, April 25 at Reformation Lutheran Church in Taylorsville.  The reception, sponsored by Alexander Friends of the Library, will begin at 3:30 pm with a page by page reveal for the audience.  The reception is free and open to the public.

Alexander County Library has been celebrating all week (April 17-21) for its 50th Anniversary and it will culminate in an afternoon of food, face painting, pet rock making, and a lipsync battle between staff and teen volunteers!  Join us from 2 - 5 pm for the fun.

Then, at 6 pm as the library closes, our scene will become a poetry den for the first Poetry After Hours event.  An open mic invites poets of all ages to share works or even read poems of other poets.  Teen Poetry Happens will read their poem crafted from words collected on the March Art After Hours poetry wall.  Food, fun, and free!  Join us!

And don't forget, Alexander County's own RockyFest at Rocky Face Mountain Park will be on Saturday.  I'll be the emcee all day introducing amazing music from 10 am - 6 pm. Stop by and say howdy!!
