Aspiring poets are invited to submit their work to Dormont Public Library for a poetry contest being held now through April 4.

Poems can be written in any style, and about any subject. Poems must be original, and be no more than 20 lines long. Authors will retain all rights to their work.

Two prizes will be awarded in each of the following age groups:

  • Grade school: 4th–5th grades.
  • Middle school: 6th–8th grades.
  • High school: 9th–12th grades.
  • Adult.

Entries should be sent to Dormont Public Library at 2950 West Liberty Avenue, Dormont, Pa., 15216.

For contest guidelines, see the Dormont Public Library website.

Local judges will be selected based on expertise. Winners will be announced in late April, and will be invited to read their work at a reception to be held at the library.

Follow Dormont-Brookline Patch on Facebook and Twitter. For more news, sign up for our email Newsletter.

@MCG - I appreciate how you perceived the situation and I apologize if that was in fact the case.…Read More Like I said I was not privy to the exact conversation. However at the time it wasn't explained like that to me so I was unaware and handled it as I interpreted it. My apologies if I was mistaken.

@Debbie L. Actually the police have not been to the pub in a long time. The last time they were…Read More there was because I called them because a man who was intoxicated (which we didn't serve because he is barred) came in and refused to leave. And I don't ever recall seeing the fire department there. But to blame it on the Pub is a misconception because even if you closed the pub there are half a dozen other bars on the blvd that everyone would then frequent. While Bob Dobbs recommendation of reinstating prohibition might sound like a good idea good luck with that. Prohibition didn't prevent drinking in the 20's and it wouldn't stop it now either. Ultimately we can not make everyone happy but we do our best to run a safe and friendly establishment. And I make it my personal mission to prevent any and all fights. Since I've been the door man (almost 6 months) we have only had 1 fight in the bar which was quickly broken up. We are not perfect. Nor is any other bar. But we constantly strive to make improvements. We are a community pub. We love our community and everyone in it.

@Daria. My description is 100% accurate. Yes, the bouncer quickly handled the situation by claiming…Read More he witnessed "the whole thing". And he did. He witnessed my friends and I waiting to order a drink. That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less. The description is not harsh, it's actually toned down in comparison to what actually happened. The bouncer said, "I witnessed the whole thing and you were being a ****. One customer standing in line to order. One customer flicking another customer's hood and getting in his face. Which one was wrong? Apparently me since I don't go there frequently.
