April is National Poetry month! To celebrate, teens in grades 6-12 can come to the library and use books to create poems! Teens must stack books to make free verse poems (title on spine becomes verse). Then a photo of the poem should be taken and emailed to teen librarian or posted to Instagram with the tag #mpplspinepoems. The actual words of poem must also be included in the email or in your Instagram post. Prizes will be given at the end of April to the top three poems and photos can be seen on Instagram, if you search #mpplspinepoems, and in the Library.
