National Library Week / National Poetry Month

I love April because there is always so much going on.

April 11 - 17 is National Library Week.
This year's theme is Communities Thrive @your Library

Also April is National Poetry Month 

So.... in honor of both events, I am asking you to bring a poem to our next Lunch and Literature gathering.

Wednesday, April 14, 2010  12:30-1:30 pm
Bluford Library Seminar room. 256-258

Your poems should be about the many communities we live in, work in or play in. Communities of thought, the environment, cooperation, unity, and kinship. Poems that touch a chord or strike home.

Bluford library has many resources for your poetry selection. Here are a few to get you started...
