The Milne Public Library is celebrating National Poetry Month with our yearly Poetry Month Challenge. This year's challenge is to create an ACROSTIC POEM. An acrostic poem is a poem in which certain letters of each line combine to spell out a word when read vertically. These poems can be about anything-your favorite animal, a food you love, a time of day. Stop by to pick up a packet with examples and a guide for creating your poem. All poems returned by May 1st will be entered to win a $30 gift card to a local business in the following catergories: Adults (19+), Teens (13-18), and Children (12 & under). Packets available in the Children's Room, Circulation Desk, Teen Room, and in Spanish in the front lobby.
