April is…National Poetry Month

From Poets.org

April is…National Poetry Month. This month is dedicated to poetry in all shapes and forms by authors young and old. How can you participate? Just read a poem! Read one a day or pick up some poem books or read a whole novel in verse (poetry) form. The library has books with poems, books about poets, and books in verse. Just ask!

Check out one of the displays in the library. Look for poetry books on your way up the stairs (or down) from the Children’s Floor or check out the display in our Teen Alcove. Just look for the blue sign that features a black and white “National Poetry Month” sign. If you are on the Lower Level, look to the book shelf beside the desk. We have poetry books for all ages!

Also, check out Poets.org for resources and to subscribe to their poem a day feature. Lots to explore!
