As you may know, this year we are celebrating 150 years of Williamstown's libraries. If you are curious about this part of our history, take a peek at the display cabinet near the front desk which contains historic photographs and documents from Williamstown's public libraries. You can also read a written history of Williamstown's libraries on our website. Thank you for being part of our continuing story!
In celebration of National Poetry Month, join us in creating our very own "Guessing Haiku"!
Write your own haiku about an animal or a moment in nature and be entered into our prize drawings. Let's see if our readers can guess who or what your poem is about!
Here is an example by Rocío, our Teen Librarian:
Cutting through the air,
Wings as wide as man is tall
Carry on, skyward
Can you guess the animal? Click here for the answer, and visit the link below for more details.
Also, don't forget that our Open Mic Poetry Night is coming up on Wednesday, April 10th, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.! What better place to share your haiku masterpiece with others?
