Edgefield County Library News — Poet and Author John M. Starino is launching a Poetry and Musical Open Mic with the Edgefield County Public Library on Friday, June 20, 2014. Open Mic will be from 6-8 p.m.  Refreshments will be available.

John, along with Joe Schneider, the Library’s manager, wants participants to discover their creativity as well as give musicians and poets an opportunity to build their own talents in front of an audience. Holding this type of event at the Library also lets folks become more aware of the Library as a resource for learning writing skills and researching established artists. The library’s invitation is: “Join us on June 20 at 105 Court House Square in Edgefield for this poetry, music and listening room event.”
