National Poetry Month celebrates the vital role poetry plays in American culture, and is recognized across the country with readings, festivals, book displays, and other events throughout the month of April. The Berkeley Carroll Library is celebrating the art of verse by encouraging students to compose their own poems on an over-sized magnetic poetry board displayed outside the Library doors. The results have been thoughtful and creative!
On April 26, the Library will be celebrating "Poem in Your Pocket Day" with student poetry readings and a selection of individual poems for students to take with them and share throughout the day.
