April is National Poetry Month

Come celebrate with us!

Look for the poetry display in the Robbins Library lobby. Not sure where to start with poetry books?  Check out the Poetry Book Pack, a curated bag of poetry titles.  

Kids, pick up a “poetry prompt” in the Children’s Room and create fantastic poems to post in the Children’s Art Gallery alongside hand-colored butterflies. Check out the display of poetry books in the children’s room too–each book includes  a “pocket poem” for kids to keep! 

At Fox, we’re making a giant version of magnetic poetry on our bulletin board. Stop in and create your poem!  

Want more poetry? Follow us on social media to read the library-themed haiku staff will be posting throughout the month.
