Middlesbrough Libraries hosted a Musha'ra ( Urdu poetry evening) in September at the Central Library. The event was organised by Librarians, Rukhsana Aslam and Mohammad Hafeez.
The free tickets, went as soon as they were issued, and over 90 people attended the event, with poets travelling from as far as London, Nottingham and Bradford to attend.
The poetry was well received, and the evening was closed by Middlesbrough's Head of Libraries, Chrys Mellor with a poem of her own!'
