April is National Reading Month and the Nottage Library is celebrating with Book Spine Poetry.
What is Book
Spine Poetry you ask?
To make a book spine poem, you arrange a stack
of books so that the titles create a poem. Each title of a book becomes a
line in the poem. Your poem(s) can be enlightening, whimsical,
haiku, serious, macabre, or whatever you want!
Browse the library’s shelves or your own book
collection for interesting titles that seem to fit together and write them down.
Make a decision on 3-5 books, pull the books off the shelf and arrange
them in a stack from top to bottom (or side to side).
Take a picture of your book stack and send it
to andrea.thorne@maine.edu by April 8th. BE CREATIVE!!!! We will be posting photos on our bulletin boards for
everyone to see!
