Winter Reading Celebration: An Open Mic Event In-Person
Kick off the New Year by celebrating your writing at the Winter Reading Celebration Open Mic, hosted in collaboration with Writopia Lab!
Writers, poets, and songwriters of all ages are invited to share a two-minute excerpt of their work, whether it's from a story, poem, essay, or song. If you’d prefer to support others from the audience, you’re just as welcome! New to our Open Mic events? You’re in good hands—come experience a supportive, creative space where you can decide if you'd like to share.
This year, we’re excited to have our teen writers from Writopia Lab co-hosting the event. After the readings, join us for a short Q&A where we’ll hear more about each writer’s inspiration and creative journey. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the work you’ve been doing and come together with the community.
Whether you're reading, listening, or cheering from the audience, this event promises a warm and inspiring start to the year!
For Ages 8-19.
Greenburgh Library Patrons and Writopians welcome!
