Ransom Poetry Center
Description
In honor of National Poetry Month, we will set up a “Ransom Poetry Station” in the Children’s Room. Kids can make up poems by using cut-out words and sticking them onto a page to make their own original poem. You can leave your poem on display at the library or take it home. Materials will be available the week of April 22-27.
