On February 14, 2019, Wright Memorial Public Library will be 80 years old! To celebrate, we’re collecting poetry, short stories, fast fiction, essays, and art to be compiled in an online and printed publication. We’re especially looking for pieces that focus on place (libraries, the Miami Valley) or the passage of time, both as we look back to the past and forward to the future. Imagine life in 1939 or a library in space. Write about our namesakes, Wilbur, Orville, and Katharine Wright. No matter the topic, all well-executed and compelling literature and art will be considered. Publication is planned for February 14, 2019. See below for submission information. Contact us with questions.
