Check Out a Poet at the Coral Gables Library 2026

Check Out a Poet at the Coral Gables Library
Presented in partnership with the City of Coral Gables

We're bringing Check Out a Poet back to the Coral Gables Library!

Check out a Poet is modeled on the Human Library, wherein members of the general public are invited to spend 15 minutes of one-on-one time with a local poet—hear them read, ask them questions, and develop their own poems under the guidance of a professional.

A signup sheet will be available on-site to book a 15-minute time slot with the poet or creative.

• Saturday, February 7th | 1-3pm: Check Out a Poet
