Lorain Public Library Open Mic Night

February 6 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

The Lorain Public Library System has announced several programs planned in celebration of Toni Morrison Day!

In 2020, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed House Bill 325, which officially designates Feb. 18, the birthday of the Nobel-prize-winning author, as Toni Morrison Day in Ohio.

Morrison was born and raised in Lorain and worked for Lorain Public Library System for a short time until she was fired for spending time reading the books she was meant to be shelving.

The public in encouraged to attend a number of free programs at the Main Library, 351 W. Sixth St. in downtown Lorain.

Open Mic event will be from 6-7:30 p.m., Feb. 6. Local poets are welcome to perform their original poems. The winners of library’s Toni Morrison Poetry Contest will be announced. Preregistration required.
