The Santa Monica Public Library invites teens in grades 6 through 12 to a Teen Poetry Café at the Main Library Courtyard, 601 Santa Monica Boulevard, on Monday, April 24 at 5:00 p.m. April is National Poetry Month—a time to celebrate poetry as a form of self-expression and art.

Teens are encouraged to share original poetry or favorite published poems with their peers in an open, comfortable environment. Sign-ups begin at 5:00 p.m., for those who wish to recite poetry. Teens will also have the opportunity to win small prizes in a raffle prize drawing at the end of the program.  For more information about this free public program, please check out our website at www.smplteens.org  or call the Youth Services department at (310) 458-8621.
