Spoken-Word Open Mic Event Want to read your writing to an audience? This event might be for you! If you've written a family-friendly piece of writing (<5 minutes) and would like to perform it, come to the New Providence Memorial Library at 2 PM. Afterward, authors will sign their books.

Authors must support one another, not just creatively, but also in the marketing of our books. We have too many headwinds to do otherwise. #SupportAuthors
