Youth Services News National Poetry Month blog

[Stephanie Birr]

I created a week-long blog series for National Poetry Month on the Los Lunas Library blog (a blog we created because of our current circumstances). It features 7 different New Mexican poets (bio, poem, brief commentary, and a challenge to readers to create some artistic expression of their own). I had young adults in mind as an audience when I was writing it. I wanted to share them with other New Mexico youth librarians, so if any of you think you'd be able to make use of them for your teens and tweens, go for it.

I'd love to hear about other alternative programming the rest of you are doing while your libraries are closed this month. Thought this thread could be a place to swap ideas.
