The Last Thursday Poetry Reading and Open Mic is a long-running series that takes place on the last Thursday of every month at Middletown Township Public Library in Middletown New Jersey. The series is organized and moderated by Gloria Rovder Healy.

During April of 2009, Middletown Township Public Library held a poetry contest in the library and on the internet. Winners were selected each week. The four first place winners will be featured readers at a special "National Poetry Month" reading on the last Thursday of April, 2010.
