Garden Place Library will be celebrating National Poetry Day 2015 with its annual poetry open mic night and poetry slam event.
The event will be held on August 28 on the second floor of the library, and more than 1000 books will be shifted to make room for the largest poetry event in the Hamilton calendar.
The event will open with a set from local performance artist, Leafa Wilson.
Event organiser Tracy Robinson said attendees must remember to arrive before 8pm, as this is when the library doors will lock.
"We will have security, and although people can leave after this time they won't be able to get back in," she said.
