What is Poem In Your Pocket?

Poem In Your Pocket is modeled after the original celebration that began in New York City in 2002 in honor of April being National Poetry Month. Rose Tree Media School District libraries have partnered with our public libraries and several businesses to bring the fun to our community in Media and Middletown. The idea is simple – grab a poem, carry it in your pocket, & share it with as many people as possible. Participating businesses will generously offer a treat. 

Friday, April 19 & Saturday, April 20, 2024

Read a short poem at a participating business, and they will give you a treat.
