Event Details

Friday, April 17th is National Haiku Day! Help us celebrate by writing a haiku (or two!) from Saturday, April 11th through Friday, April 17th. Submit your haiku in the event discussion in the Facebook Event page. Video submissions reading your work are also encouraged!

You can choose the topic, just reminder the haiku format:
First line is 5 syllables, second line in 7 syllables, third line is 5 syllables

Stumped on a topic? We have some suggestions! Spring, Sun Prairie, or Georgia Cow'keeffe, the beloved cow sculpture who winters in the library. Please use appropriate language and themes in your haiku.
