Contribute to Hagaman Library's First-Ever Poetry Chapbook This April!

Celebrate National Poetry Month this April at Hagaman Library! Share Your Poems for Inclusion in the Library's First-Ever Poetry Chapbook!

Hagaman Memorial Library's Poetry Chapbook Contest
Hagaman Memorial Library's Poetry Chapbook Contest (Cynthia Gwiazda)

Celebrate National Poetry month this April! Submit your poem(s) for inclusion in Hagaman Memorial Library's first ever poetry chapbook! For every poem you submit, you will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a "vegan leather" Tree of Life journal and pen gift set! Bring your original poems to our main circulation desk and we will make a copy and give you a raffle ticket for the prize drawing.


If you do not wish to submit your poem(s) for publication in our chapbook, but you would still like to participate in the contest, simply show us your poem(s) and instead of making a copy of them for publication, we will give you a raffle ticket for each poem you have written.


The prize drawing will be held on Friday, May 2. The chapbook will be compiled and published on or before May 30. The chapbook will be cataloged and available for patrons to borrow from the library.
