National Poetry Month at your Libraries!

"There was a young lass name of Mary
Whose poetry interests did vary
Cummings, Frost, Plath and Poe
Kloefkorn, Yeats and Thoreau
And she found them all at her library!"

Stop in to your local library to enjoy National Poetry Month in April by checking out the English-language poetry collections in the 811 (811.08 for multi-author anthologies) and 821 (821.08) sections of the non-fiction. There's a special display up at Bennett Martin Public Library on the 2nd floor...and there may be more displays at your local neighborhood branches as well!
