PORT ANGELES — A free reading from Tidepools 2011, a compilation of works by North Olympic Peninsula residents, is planned Saturday.

The reading will be at 7 p.m. in the Raymond Carver Room of the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.

It is the second of three free public readings scheduled to celebrate the publication of this year’s magazine, which went on sale this week.

The first reading was Tuesday. The third will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 14, in the Northwind Gallery, 2386 Cleveland St., Port Townsend.

Copies of the magazine can be purchased at the readings.

Tidepools 2011 is the 47th edition of Peninsula College’s art, literary and music magazine.

The magazine features the fine art, photography, poetry, short prose and music of Peninsula residents.

Tidepools 2011 is on sale in Port Angeles at the Bookaneer Bookstore on the Peninsula College main campus, Port Book and News, Odyssey Bookshop, Port Angeles Fine Arts Center and Renaissance; in Sequim at Pacific Mist Books; and in Port Townsend at the Writers’ Workshoppe and Quimper Sound.

Tidepools includes the writing and art of the North Olympic Peninsula adult community as well as young people from 6 to 17 years of age.

Judges awarded prizes in 11 categories.

Tidepools student staff members, who have worked on the publication as part of a class on literary magazine production, selected all the other work that appears in the magazine.
