The Hackettstown Free Public Library enriches the lives of all members of our community by providing opportunities for learning and entertainment, cultural enrichment, access to information and the preservation of knowledge for future generations.
From April 19-25 we invite you to find your joy at the library. Whether this means getting your first library card or helping another do so, discovering your new favorite book or TV series, or attending an amazing free program, libraries are made for you.
Stop on in and see us today and let us know what about your library brings you joy in 2026!
This 1.5-hour workshop will be a creative, generative, exploratory space. We will begin by reading and discussing a few poems that model the week’s topic. Topics might include, for instance, praise poems, elegies, ghazals, memory poems, or ars poeticas. Then, we’ll respond to a prompt to write our own poems. After that, there will be an opportunity for sharing work.
