Bookies’ Open Mic Poetry Slam a success

Members of the book club at Creekside Senior Estates, known as the Creekside Bookies, have presented their first ever Coffee House and Open Mic Poetry Slam.

Their community centre was transformed into a coffee house, with residents performing their favourite poems or songs for the rest of the community.  A song by Dylan, different genres of poetry, as well as some original pieces were enjoyed by everyone.

Organized by Creekside librarian Cyndie Leavitt, the night was such a success that everyone has requested that it be repeated again, however it was decided that it will become a yearly event held during April, which is National Poetry Month.
