Bandit Would Love a Story!

Bandit has missed coming to the library to hear our young patrons read him a story. So, we'd like to bring him to our young patrons at home. If you have a young reader that would like to practice reading out loud, Bandit is a great and quiet listener.

Thank you to his owner for sharing this video with us.

BLACKOUT POETRY CONTEST IS EXTENDED!

4/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
April is National Poetry Month, so we're having a Blackout Poetry Contest!

Our Blackout Poetry Contest entry period is extended to APRIL 30th!



What is Blackout Poetry?

"A blackout poem is when a poet takes a marker (usually black marker) to already established text–like in a newspaper–and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. The key thing with a blackout poem is that the text AND redacted text form a sort of visual poem."
[as quoted from Writer's Digest's article titled "
Erasure and Blackout Poems: Poetic Forms" Robert Lee Brewer published on November 21, 2014]
