Waubonsee Community College invites the community to take part in “Poetry Out Loud,” an open-mic poetry reading event.

Scheduled in conjunction with National Poetry Month, the event takes place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 7, in the library at the Aurora Downtown Campus, 18 S. River St., and again on Thursday, April 13 at the Todd Library on Waubonsee’s Sugar Grove Campus, Route 47 and Waubonsee Drive.

Participants are welcome to read original or favorite poetry, or just listen and enjoy.

No advance registration is required, but for more information, contact event organizer Kathy Bartel at (630) 801-7900 ext. 4626 or kbartel@waubonsee.edu.
