Open Books - a Day of Words

Please join us on Sunday, April 7 from 3 to 7 p.m., at Whimzey, as Todd and Kiaralinda and the Open Book Exchange join forces to toast all things literary at this one-of-a-kind special event we are calling Open Books.


We are bringing you the talented founder of the worldwide Poetry Slam movement, Marc Kelly Smith.

During this celebration of art and performance, we will officially dedicate the Book Box installed outside Whimzey House—a Little Free Library of the “take a book, leave a book” variety.

 Visitors will be treated to live poetry readings and performances by Marc Smith, Safety Harbor Writers and Poets, Imani Woomera, Richard James Girard, and a host of other talented guests. There will also be zines by David Solomon and Shae Krispinsky for sale, and both will read from their work.

The Bluebird Books Bus will be on site with books, zines, t-shirts and a free paper craft station.

All activities are free and open to the public. Book donations are welcomed – Please feel free to bring your gently-read tomes!


Whimzey House is located at 1206 Third St. N., in Safety Harbor, 34695.
