National Poetry Month

In 1996, in order to honor the amazing art of poetry writing, the Academy of American Poets began the tradition of a month long celebration in April-- National Poetry Month.

This month, our library display will feature works of poetry. In conjunction with Cuyamaca's Spring Garden Festival, our first floor display will contain books of poetry for adults and children that focus on springtime and nature. Our second floor display will feature classic and famous poets. Stop by and visit; you might "meet" a new favorite poet.
