Now that the sun has finally come out and the snow has melted, it definately feels more like Spring. Why not celebrate the start of April and National Poetry Month by attending an event at a local bookstore or library ? Low on cash? Most of these events are free. Need a last minute Easter gift? Autographed books make excellent presents. As usual, I've compiled a list of events around the Seattle metro area for the week of April 6th. Happy reading!
