The Woonsocket Harris Public Library is proud to announce the winners of this year’s poetry contest. Every year we get lots of great entries, and we want to thank everyone who entered. The winners receive a certificate and a gift card to a bookstore. Don’t forget, we will be doing another contest in April 2022, so everyone will have a chance to enter again.

 It’s always hard to pick out the best in each age group, but these are the winners chosen for this year.
