OLD FORGE  — The Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd., will host an Open Mic Night  for writers outside on the library lawn on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 6 p.m. 

The public is welcome to share and read from their own work or to come and enjoy readings by others.

The emcee will be Bailee Annis. In addition to serving as the director of this year’s annual Summer Writers Workshop, she has organized and led writing and storytelling workshops for the Adirondack Center for Writing for six years and is the most joyful when teaching and coaching. Annis lives in Saranac Lake, in a small cabin with her young beagle.
