The Poet’s Studio holds its monthly meeting on Friday, July 12, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City. The group normally meets on the first Thursday of each month, but the date was changed due to the branch being closed July 4.

The first half hour is devoted to discussing some aspect of the art of writing of poetry. On July 12, the presenterwill be Jeanne Sutton.
