Library celebrates National Poetry Month, National Library Week




Celebrate your library in April with three events and a prize drawing!

Sign up for the drawing Monday – Saturday of National Library Week beginning April 15.

On Friday, April 12 the Duluth Playhouse presents Ellie the Elephant at 3:30 p.m., an original adaptation of the fable of the elephant and the blind men by Sarah Ruth Diener, best for children pre-school through grade 3.

On Tuesday, April 16 at 10:30 a.m., a “Poems & Rhymes Storytime” will focus on nursery rhymes and poems for kids. Reading a poem for the group will grant you up to three extra chances for the drawing.

Finally, on Wednesday, April 17 at 7 p.m. the library will host an “Open Mic Poetry Night.”

Bring your favorite poem to share or pick one of ours for extra entries into the drawing.

Prizes include embroidered book bags for kids, Hohner recorder and music book, “I Love Books” reusable shopping bags, Chocolove premium chocolate bars (inside each wrapper is a classic romantic poem), gift certificates from Lake Superior Trading Post, Birchbark Books & Gifts and Beth’s Fudge, and Drury Lane Books.

For more information call Patsy Ingebrigtsen at the library, 218-387-1140.
