“VERSES is a hybrid of a market, an auction, an art show and performances. It’s also an opportunity for us to raise awareness around our literacy program and why we are needed in the community,” said VERSES creator Mandy Durham, TCCL’s literacy services manager. 

The program for the entire family will feature a maker’s market highlighting local vendors, live artmaking, readings and spoken-word performances, food and beverage for purchase from area eateries, and a silent auction. 

In preparation for the event, the library’s Literacy Department is accepting submissions from local vendors to sell wares at the market and for local businesses to auction off an item, service, or experience. The application deadline is Aug. 15.
