April is National Poetry Month!
Established by the Academy of American Poets, poets, libraries, schools, and booksellers celebrate National Poetry Month with programs and events across the U.S. Help the Morton Grove Public Library celebrate poetry! Contribute to the community poetry board at the library, check out www.mgpl.org for a daily poem, or come to a poetry-themed program:
Puppetry, Poetry, Music and More!
Family - Saturday, April 12 at 2 pm
Kevin Kammeraad, award-winning storyteller and puppeteer, will entertain the entire family with his funny puppets and poetic and musical storytelling.
Blackout Poetry Canvas
Teens - Thursday, April 24 at 5 pm
Adults - Saturday, April 26 at 10 am
In celebration of National Poetry Month, try your hand at blackout poetry! Cover up the words that don’t inspire to let your poem emerge. We’ll then mount your blackout poem to a canvas to create custom artwork. Materials will be provided. Go to calendar.mgpl.org or call 847-929-5101 to register.
