Collection Highlights - National Poetry Month

Our latest Collection Highlights are on display in the glass case in the library lobby. We are featuring highlights from our collection in honor of National Poetry Month.

"National Poetry Month was inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world with schools, publishers, libraries, booksellers, and poets celebrating poetry's vital place in our culture."
