Poetry Palooza is a poetry writing contest with Minot Public Library and Main Street Books. Our mission is to instill in children an appreciation for poetry writing and draw attention to National Poetry Month in the community. Grades 3-8 are welcome to submit poems that can be either traditional or free verse. We ask for the poems to be no longer than one page in length. Please submit the Poet's name, grade, school, and parents phone number on the back of the entry.

It's Dr. Seuss's Birthday!! We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss Day! We will have specials on Dr. Seuss books, there will be a storytime and face painting! 

Join us at 11 am today for storytime. This will be an active storytime with songs and fingerplays and (of course) a story or two or three.
