National Poetry Month–Poetry Treasure Hunt

April is National Poetry Month…Celebrate with our Poetry Treasure Hunt!
(Poems are posted around the children’s room…find the poems, answer the questions, solve the puzzle and bring it to the Youth Services Reference Desk for a prize!)

We created a treasure hunt for our kids in order to generate some excitement about poetry in our library – and maybe generate some circulations of our wonderful poetry books!  In case anyone wants to do this at their library, I am sharing the materials we created.  Here’s a sample:

Women’s History Month Display featuring the Amelia Bloomer Project

We do award-winning books displays every year in our children’s department and this year I wanted to do one to give more visibility to the somewhat lesser-known Amelia Bloomer Project.  I was not able to find printable materials on the web so created some of my own (signs featuring current winners and titles from our collections) and am happy to share!   You can find them here: http://tinyurl.com/Amelia-Bloomer-Signs-2014  If you want an editable version, please feel free to contact me.
