Atlantic City Library Poetry Contest

Most people know about the wealth of stories available at the library, from picture books and large print to audiobooks and ebooks. But there's so much more to the story of libraries. Libraries are welcoming spaces that bring communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, lectures, and more. The Atlantic City Free Public Library offers a wide array of programs, classes and resources. Help us celebrate the library’s multifaceted story by writing a poem about the library using this year’s National Library Week Theme, ‘There’s More to the Story.’ About the contest: - Contest is open to adults 18 and older. - Poems must be received March 15-April 15. - Each person can submit a maximum of three poems. - Poems must be original and unpublished, either in print or online. - Submissions must be suitable for general audiences. - All submissions must be typed. - Include a brief third-person bio with your submission (maximum of 50 words). - Submissions can be turned in at the Main Library during open hours or mailed to Atlantic City Free Public Library, ATT: Poetry Contest, 1 North Tennessee Ave., Atlantic City, NJ 08401.
